Utter trivia and irrelevant to the overall thread but I felt like
answering the implicit question: the bits of Haskell that made it into
production use for MB are a.) a thing called musicbrainz-email that sent
out all the emails when we had the password hash leakage issue (but is
currently idle) and b.) https://github.com/metabrainz/caa-admin
which is still in use but only accessible to fairly privileged folks
(mostly me) since it deals with nitty-gritty issues of CAA handling
(which has, luckily, also been fairly stable lately, so I haven't needed
to prod it much).
