IR receiver modules, why 38kHz

I'll confess that I haven't seen more than a dozen articles so far, but from what I have seen it seems that 38kHz is the most popular. Why? Did I miss something?

Left to my own devices, I'd've picked 40kHz because a uC running at x.000 MHz can get the right frequency dead on. Also this allows a preexisting tv remote to be used (I'm under the impression that the appliances here use 40kHz, I may be mistaken).
