Sure and in my neck of the woods, and there are cows, calfs, heiffers,
bulls, steers, but they are all cattle... And when talking about cows,
Jerseys and Guernsey's have high MF, lower production, Ayrshire have
high production, lower MF, and Holstiens inbetween.
Should I call them "cow with high MF" and "cow with high production", or
just say Jersey or Ayrshire?
Where ever you (the generic you, not specific you) draw the line, what
you call it is still arbitrary... But where that line is drawn
currently defined in the buildfarm code...
Not that it can't be changed, but I thin there's much better things to
worry about ;-)
