For deployment planning, the details of supported equipment and configuration remain central. A release feature is useful when it connects to the machine someone actually operates. The operating system's cheerful Stingray identity thus shares space with encryption and certification. Even the mascot has arrived carrying a clipboard and asking which computer it is allowed to swim in.
