A typo is a typo. Say you wanted everything in /usr/local/lib/googlestuff

A typo could easily be "rm -rf / usr/local/lib/googlestuff" - I've made 
that mistake once in my life. It doesn't matter where you put stuff in 
the end. It won't be safe from a typo.

That's why when change happens slowly it's often better. It gives 
everybody a sense of being able to keep up and not feel the rug is 
pulled out from under them every 6 months.

There are days I like pulling the rub out from under me just so learn 
something new. Other days I'd like things to stay the same so I can take 
a breather once in a while and not be out of date within a few months.
