This thread shows that statement to be incorrect. It appears evenly split --
(I didn't count, but roughly) three people on each side, so a tie. But one
cannot outargue dogmatism. So continue calling it "what Debian thinks".
I have my script to add MKL at a priority I deem useful; several people
commented on it and thanked me. I, like you, am actually not convinced that
the performance is that much better (esp. given the 1.9gb footprint).
But when I decide to install it, then at least I want it working, and not be
an unused wallflower which is what you hardliners suggest. I continue to find
that silly, but I said my piece and am done with this now.
