It's a pretty good bit of software whch was originally invented to run
a much smaller site :-) Some features are now... well, mainly of
historic interest, because they didn't scale well or they got made
redundant by the development of other things.

(It's a bit like the law, really...)

Tied together with baling wire and running on a few thousand prayers
is not a bad way to describe our infrastructure, but it's only
metaphorically accurate!
