QOTW 2: the zombie edition
[Posted March 10, 2010 by corbet]
It was ugly enough in <compress/mm.h> (which really should be nuked
from orbit - it's the only way to be sure), but when I see it
spreading, I go into full zombie-attack mode, and want to start up
the chainsaw and run around naked.

OK, we really really don't want that... simply because there just
aren't enough zombies to go around already. Last I heard, the EPA
was considering classifying them as an endangered species, only to
get stuck in a bureaucratic mess if they can be classified as a
"species" at all, or if they should be classified together with
bread mold, toxic waste and Microsoft salesmen.

Personally I think we should all get together and agree on a
framework and fix the framework to meet all of the needs and look
like a swiss army hammer driver drill thing rather than having 4
options, none of which meet all the needs, and then forcing our
uneducated users to choose between them. But, hey, we all know
that isn't going to happen so I'll just go back to happy go lucky
dream land where Linus is not running around naked with a chain
saw.
