Most existing systems are a patchwork of applications and versions.
I'll bet money that EVERY company on the face of the earth, including
yours, Gene, if they were going to rebuild an infrastructure that was
previously inplace and documented, even if only a year old, that they
would rebuild it differently, and therefore, the documentation would
need to be reworked.
