This isn't a change: freedomboxen have been used overseas, and the packages
are the same worldwide. So, some boxes have been facing the same

boxes is worth the investment. It's our job to make breaking boxes
financially irresponsible, which makes this thread even more important:

It does, however, lower my opinion of the government.
