Agreed.  Withal the fact that the platform is nearing the end of a massive
conversion/merge suggests above-average weight be given to the "bug"
possibility.  The platform merge was in its earlier stages when I moved on
from Microsoft and EOP, but interesting interactions were surfacing even then.

Thinking of a suddenly critical exercise when I was at Ford,

"Wait, why would this module suddenly start failing?  It's been in the
software for over five years!"

"Yeah, but parts of the code have never been called on to do this kind of
stuff until this module had to interact with the new modules.  Some parts of
the code apparently never execute at all in the previous environment."
