I don't think it lacks any sarcasm. Think about it. "For Workgroups". Wasn't that the new thing for Windows? Windows never was build with networking in mind. Heck, it wasn't even build with a multi user setup in mind.

All that came tacked on later and thus had inherent security issues because of backward compatibility.

So, calling Linux (which was always build around both, multi user and networking) "For Workgroups" in this 3.11 iteration is 100% sarcastic. Seeing as they (Linux) wouldn't even have to add that "For Workgroups" as it goes without saying that Linux is capable of it.
