I can't say I'll lose too much sleep over it. IIRC 30 years ago an 
emergency release was done, all signed off by the appropriate people, 
and the integration team couldn't load the software onto the system. 
Why?  It handn't compiled, someone had taken out one line too many with 
the editor!!!  Now we're giving advice in relatively real time, and 
sometimes we get it wrong.  Thankfully not so costly to the UK taxpayer.
