[ale] OT: H1B

I believe it is an overstatement to say it is "completely unenforced", since
back in the boom years, a lawyer actually recommended a friend's employer to
revise requirements for her position to use more generic terms (proficiency
with networking OSes and RDBMS ) instead of (proficiency with SCO
openserver/Solaris/Novell/Caldera Linux/Windows NT combo and proficiency
with Informix/sybase/Oracle/postgres), even if the job itself really
involves all these technical components. The basis for the recommendation is
that an application may actually get denied if the position looks like being
tailored for "the one and the only" candidate.

again, this is more likely to be applicable to a GC application than for a
H1B application
