<PRE>[Sorry for multiple replies, missed this bit in the last one :s]

'Twas brillig, and Thomas Backlund at 31/10/11 17:06 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> But I guess that's the development trend nowdays: &quot;I cant be bothered to
</I>&gt;<i> fix things properly so I just call it &quot;depreceated&quot;... and go ahead
</I>&gt;<i> and break things just as I like&quot;
</I>

I think that's a little unfair in the representation of this problem (I
won't comment if this *is* an overall trend).

I think there has been a significant push recently to break from
&quot;traditions&quot; that are holding things back. If something doesn't work *by
design* then coming up with an alternative way of working and
deprecating the old way seems like a perfect way of driving progress IMO.

The &quot;I can't be bothered to fix things properly&quot; could easily be applied
to the current status quo, which has a carefully ordered sequence of
otherwise parallelisable tasks and a careful placement of certain key
files, just because no one can &quot;be bothered&quot; to address the underlying
design issues.

I guess it's likely just a matter of perspective/opinion as to which
philosophy &quot;can't be bothered&quot;.
