This just screams to me like we need to have better standards than canceling out words English language that can be used to mean something. Instead of ruling out the words Easy, Tiny, Simple, Fast, and any other word, we need to have better standards to make sure these words are still meaningful to us. It'd be easier to have a new module up called Log::Fast and have it take 30 minutes to actually log something, thus ruining he idea of ::Fast, but it'd be more worthwhile changing its name to Log::FsckingSlow and not ruin ::Fast. And it would be even better to just do it right altogether and make Log::Fast justifiable. Also, it's just hit morning here, so... good morning! :)
