I'm with Russ, if that matters to the chair.

I have no idea why every vote counts equally here, for two reasons.

1. Russ has experience writing and maintaining news server software for a 
production environment.  I do too.  Others here do too.

2. Technical merit matters.  I agree completely with Russ's statements
about how rapidly software will get changed in production.  There is
lots of evidence for that in the last decade.  I believe that
the choices in what you call "IR" are appropriate for that.
