10 Year Rule

Gradually over the last few years, based on my own experience of the list. I don't. Something with fuzzy boundaries, somewhat like the 10-year rule, is, but the 10-year rule, as stated, errs too much in both directions (examples aplenty upthread) for me to be comfortable with it in any form that sounds even the least bit doctrinaire. This kind of kafuffle is exactly why. If you must have an easy-to-state rule, I'd much prefer the form given upthread that was something like "anything well outside the current computing mainstream". Even that, though, seems to me to err enough (in both directions) to be problematic. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
