We go through this a couple of times a year.

"OMG RT IS THE SUX0R" and there's debate about whether this would be  
better or that, and what about feature X or feature Y and blah blah  
blah and yet, here we are today, with RT.

I'd suggest that if someone is serious about abandoning RT, and the  
improvements that Jesse & co. are constantly making to the system are  
just not enough, and you want to convert a decade of historical  
information to a new system, then by all means, let's see your plan.   
Short of that, it's all just lip-flapping.

xoxo,
Andy

I was looking at it and wondering how you got the output. Is it gprof? Something else?

I think that pretty much sums it up right there, Mark.

I suggest that the folks wanting to move forward with making Perl  
Y2038 compliant just go ahead and do it, rather than arguing its  
value.  To all but a handful (one?), its value is self-evident.  Far  
better to just make it happen rather than argue its merits against  
"Normal people are wrong."

xoa
