I have a tough time believing there are any applications with functions |
| 12 |
written in languages that cannot be functionally or linguistically |
| 13 |
classified. The architecture/OS on which a program runs shouldn't be a |
| 14 |
basis for a category. |

I'm glad to hear it's open for discussion, but in the future, could you do |
| 29 |
the discussion before rather than after the action? We shouldn't be |
| 30 |
expected to go wandering around, looking for new directories, code or |
| 31 |
whatever. |
