As I understand it, the current unwritten policy is to use &os; in new
text or to change it if you touch a part of a document anyway (then
only change it in the parts you touch).

But I don't feel strongly about it either way.

Another thing is that we actually have to change Linux to &linux; soon
since I found out they (www.linuxmark.org) actually want people to use
trademark symbol... fun fun.
