What we are seeing is the Kubler-Ross Model (stages of grief) as applied to the life of Software:
1. *Denial <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial>* — "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me." 2. *Anger <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anger>* — "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; '"Who is to blame?" 3. *Bargaining <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bargaining>* — "I'll do anything for a few more years." 4. *Depression <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_%28mood%29>* — "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?" 5. *Acceptance <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceptance>* — "It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."
