The most probably it needs to do this to make the "proper" impression on the
users. To make them believe that it is Dopus that is not up to date. And
that there is a "newer, better OS there", which should be used instead or
one may be missing some "very important OS (!) features". You know: "...
today we needed to disable animated icons only but if you insist on using
dopus, tomorrow we may need to disable scsi.device or maybe even
exec.library. Who knows? So be warned."
