i don't see how you could surprise some "already clued admins", unless
you assert that they were banking on the fact that S10 goes (ascii
sorts) after S100, S101, and S102...kinda like using the line numbers
10, 20, 30, etc. in your basic program all those years ago, so that
you didn't need to renumber *everything* to add a line in between here
and there.
