:: This is a rather different issue and you raise some very good points. I have had some long discussions with people about the differences between what I call "blueprint systems" (those which are created from scratch from a plan each time they run, so any permanent change must be made to the plan) and "living systems" (once they start they run forever and must be changed on the fly). Each has its advantages but there is a trend to evolve systems that started out as blueprint to be more and more living ones by adding system registries and user configuration files. This gets you the worst of both worlds since then the issues you mentioned don't even get discussed or considered. --[[User:Jecel|Jecel]] 00:24, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
