The point is that my blood pressure goes up when I see people thanking
"The Lord, their girlfriends and an accountant" where it does not
belong... Why, a trac ticket ? Why the source code ? Those are work
tools ! We use them for serious stuff ! Let's put the grant numbers
where they belong --> anywhere else. Plus the web page will stay like
that forever, and become harder to read with time. It's cool !
Yeah, and now using git, we can make it even more obscure (to ordinary
people) by adding all SHA numbers of related commits.
