If you have root, accidental hosing can happen. I have seen this in fact
# rm -rf /usr
when
# rm -rf /nsr

Static documentation is idiotic for dynamic systems. To the extent that GNU/Linux is dynamic, it *should not* be documented staticly. As a coder I never duplicate code (cut-and-paste) because that creates a non-obvious dependency -- if I changed the code in one place I'd have to change it in the other.

Same applies to documentation: if something can change, and lots of code does, I do not want to have to change both code and documentation in the same, dependent, way. There are two ways out: 1) automatically generated documentation, which admittedly is pretty ugly and schematic; and 2) archived searchable forums and discussions.

And matches will be greater in topic areas where quotation is common. How many 10-page essays on "Romeo and Juliet" quote at least 5 or 10 lines from the Queen Mab speech? Those papers will match verbatim for those 5 or 10 lines.

"it's just not yet up to the same very high standards of quality and performance as perl 5. "
I think the moderators missed the humor in your post.

False and libelous. Palin was *2nd* place in the Miss Alaska contest, not 3rd.
