Most users really don't understand the issues around wireless and
country specific rules. Some wireless implementations also don't deal
with moving between countries live (as happens all the time today in
Europe).

That means as a distribution vendor its really important to ship people
something that by default does the right thing and the legal thing here.
If people want to recompile kernels or hack firmware thats their
business, but out of the box it should behave.
