“There is clear consensus for a community ban of User:Larry Sanger. There is general agreement among participants that he has engaged in off-wiki canvassing and is not here to constructively build the encyclopedia. There is also a significant concern shared by many editors that his actions constitute calls for outing.”

Sometimes it makes sense to act smart rather than brute-force.
For example, when Intel makes another #MKL release and you get version like "2026.0.0", and you need to figure out the remaining "-n" suffix for the .deb packages. And you really don't want to start a Debian container to figure that out.
Well, you could just keep brute-forcing until you find the right number. Or you can figure out that the index URL is #Gentoo
