It's not a bikeshed, it's a matter of principle. We still have machines
on this planet that take days to build world. I don't care if we choose
an approach that doesn't handle days (that's why it's not a bikeshed),
because at least we were *aware* of its limitations. Having an approach
that doesn't handle days without us being aware or even thought about
it, is wrong.

It's all a matter of being conscious.

'nuff said.
