You're right, though, that we didn't do a good job of addressing this question. I'd say just pick a notes field that seems most appropriate and describe that. For a project as large as converting 630k of code.... Yuck. Yeah, you have to have a damn good reason for that. I think parts of Puppet could justify that, but you'd probably not move all the way to Puppet until some machines got decommissioned. We'll keep this in mind in later surveys; thanks. -- To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it. -- G. K.
