Well, it ended up a bit over ambitious and over engineered in parts. Not 
all of it - but parts. And there was a reason at the time for that 
ambition, but since the primary customer decided to go in another 
direction the project was left at version 0.5 with too little muscle to 
pull off the "ambition level".

It was in deployment at a small customer for almost a year, and while it 
did not at all have any substantial amounts of issues to handle, it was 
used "daily" for that time.

Yeah, I intend to write this down. Just not right now, perhaps tonight 
after badminton! :)
