As for the mention of cake, I'm surprised that Richmond hasn't assumed that
RR will be providing yellowcake and then point out that that has a half
life. The fact that it's 4 billion years is irrelevant to him bemoaning the
unethical behaviour of promising us cake that they already know has an end
of life.  ;-)

The assumptions, fantasies and paranoia that crop up every now and then on
this List is... well... amusing.

With each new announced version of LC that comes out I try to read the list
of Bugs fixed. I'm always impressed. One statistic that I've never seen,
and I think would be revealing, would be new Confirmed Bugs vs Bugs Fixed
since the last release. I guess you'd have to be careful about how the data
was presented - probably broken down to v7 and v8. Personally I'd expect
more new Bugs against v8 as it's DP and I wouldn't necessarily see that as
a bad thing, but the pessimists amongst us are likely to see it as a
portent to RR nefariously trying to force us all to write code without
synonyms. ;-)
