The NHTSA doesn't want manufacturers to optimise for the particular suite of sample accident scenarios to gain an extra 0.1 score and beat their rivals, because that would not mean that the real-world safety was improved and might even mean that safety declined slightly in non-tested accident scenarios.
The ironic thing is that (at least according to rumor) Blizzard actually wanted Warcraft to be a Warhammer game, but GW was so anal about protecting their IP that they refused to license it. So they missed out out on roughly a kajillion dollars of profit and brand exposure and the video games they came out with in the 90s were pretty mediocre.
This is good news, I've been thinking about trying BTRFS out for a while now.
One big question, for me at least - does BTRFS have full built-in support for RAID5 and RAID6? The last time I checked it was still "under development".

For a good example of manufacturers optimising their numbers, in this case with fuel economy, there's the "skip shift" feature: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_blocking
(Quick version: Manual transmissions would lock out 2nd and 3rd, so you'd be forced into 4th gear for better CAFE numbers.)

Not just a rumor: http://kotaku.com/5929161/how-warcraft-was-almost-a-warhammer-game-and-how-that-saved-wow If Games Workshop had eased up on the stubbornness and need to control everything, millions of people would be playing (and paying for) "World of Warhammer" instead of "World of Warcraft".
