> Nature doesn't like waste

actually, nature doesn't particularly care about waste.
a quote from somewhere i read recently

	nature is _effective_, not necessarily _efficient_.

it's only when the complexity of the software starts getting in the
way of the companies' effectiveness that the pressure will start to
come on.

personally i think it'll come when the maintenance cycle starts to
kick in seriously on all the new dross that's being written.  but
that's probably just wishful thinking.
