I seem to remember seeing something on Slashdot about an audit of Apache
2.something where they found it had substantially more... what do they
call them?  D/KLSC (for Defects per Thousand Lines of Source Code)? ...
than Apache 1.3.something. Then came the musings and speculation:  you
know how we anthropomorphize software all the time (it 'complains',
'dies', you 'kill' a process, it 'thinks' this or 'doesn't care' about
that...). Well perhaps the life cycle metaphor is more apt than we
thought. Could it be that software -- even the venerable Apache httpd --
eventually gets old and starts losing its teeth, libido,.etc.?
