Indeed.  But you can always ignore commandments of this sort.  You 
know the old saw, "It is better to ask for forgiveness than beg for 
permission."

Although I have to admit that I had to leave one job (at Tektronix, 
no less!) because I refused to spit on Smalltalk, and actually 
suggested that it might be good for something.  The engineering 
manager of the division had declared fatwah on Smalltalk (he was a 
C++ person), and I didn't understand the depths of his zeal.
