Not much, really, when I take a look at the topics. Unfortunately it
alraady /is/ two chapters (considered MAC to be a chapter in it's own
right), so all it does is move MAC down a level and move the other
host-based stuff to a new Local/Host/whatever chapter name.
Redistributes the text between the two chapters in a more intuitive
fashion would be one way of stating the idea.
