There was a time, I suppose when it all worked right, when I got a call back from a manager about my complaints re web page format. I don't think that is going to happen, now. Maybe they've reach the end point of scalability and can't admit it. I would feel much better if they could provide a Microsoft-free guarantee, but I believe it generally is a unix underlayment, but possibly mixed systems. By necessity, they'd have to do that. So there are now 64-bit systems and 32-bit systems, big- and little- endian possibly. Mix it all up and throw some "cross-compiled" common perl system update in the test cluster, try a few trades and it works then implement it in the mission system. Eventually bugs will be developed in a "up to date" environment. Its only the unmaintained systems that have stability and if not reliability, more predictability.
