I suppose that Drepper might fit in as a senior master super duper engineer or something, but being a VP entails a lot of political responsibilities, at least in the organizations I have seen. I cannot imagine someone with a long history of conflicts (on the negative side) and who is able to write documents in such an excruciating detail (on the positive) being a good politician.

Perhaps Goldman Sachs maintains a large internal library for short-term trading and they don't want it to grow any larger...

In US investment banks everyone's a VP. Goldman Sachs have nearly 12000 of them, out of 33000 staff. [source]

Weird! And even weirder that I haven't read anything about this in my favorite source of corporate knowledge.
