4 To comment slightly here:

6 Forever and Unlimited are always just dirty lies. Don't make promises
7 you can't keep.

9 To be fair even some of Robin's comments are odd, mentioning
10 'permanent urls'. Sure because in the future /foo/bar/baz/ will
11 always work *wink wink*.

13 The point here is that Robin (and Jokey, others?) have put forth a
14 commendable effort to serve (by Robin's numbers) 93% of all customers
15 effectively over a complete rewrite of an application and thats not
16 bad service (however much you wish it was 100%).

18 To comment from a sysadmin's perspective; just because it's
19 technically possible to do X, doesn't make X a good choice,
20 particularly coming from the guy who has to run the application rather
21 than just write the code.
