It would be correct to say something like, "If you are checking out the
tree, csup is a drop-in replacement." The statement is not correct without

This isn't a TMTOWTDI problem. It's a "your statement is factually
incorrect and every time you make it you spawn a pointless thread about
why it's factually incorrect" problem. Please adjust accordingly.
