Fair disclosure

[joel]

So, to be fair about it, I'm following up on my previous post to say that my new lead/boss/I-still-haven't-figured-out-the-org-chart-detail was reasonably sane about the situation the next morning.

Since then, the issue itself has been lowered in priority, but primarily because the entire arrangement currently in use has now been scheduled to be ripped out at the roots and reworked, the way it really fundamentally needs to be anyway, and it isn't worth rewriting the thing right this second when migrating to that will force the change anyway, along with others. And because we aren't intending to use it for any additional live customers any time soon.

She definitely did at least catch the look of growing horror on my face that morning when I found out just how deep the insanity runs. It is worse than I originally thought. Not going there right now, but suffice to say that it isn't just the one item out of that conversion "branch" that needs to be dealt with, it is pretty much all of them.
