'Of the week'? It's ten years old!

OK, OK - "coprolite of the week". Pedants... (Unless I've misparsed you and you mean that no piece of software remains shitty ten years after it had been started, in which case I have a really nice bridge for you...)
Debian looks at OpenRC Posted Aug 24, 2012 11:22 UTC (Fri) by mpr22 (subscriber, #60784) [Link] The construction "X of the week" tends to bring to mind plot devices popular in episodic TV e.g. the "monster of the week" in an action show (shows up at start of episode, wreaks havoc, gets beaten by the heroes by the time the end credits roll) or the local Casanova's "girlfriend of the week" (shows up at start of episode, instantiates some allegedly-amusing personality stereotype, dumps him by the time the end credits roll) in a sitcom. Calling something that has been around in wide use for ten years "X of the week" seems a suboptimal use of the term.
