It's probably worth an occasional reminder that though this is true for the web-facing software most of us work on, it's not actually universally true for *all* software. Things that are rated as safety-critical software, or the SCADA systems running billion-dollar industrial processes that only take downtime for hardware upgrades, are written in a rather different ecosystem. :) -Ben _______________________________________________ OAuth mailing list OAuth@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/oauth
