As the lead developer of Peachy, I disagree with the idea that bot operators are required to use it. I believe that everyone should have an option as to what framework to use. Peachy may be the best in some people's eyes, and in other eyes, it may be far too bloated for the purposes and they may want a small, barebones class.

- Whoops, disregard that. I read "PHP bot operators are required to put it through the paces" to mean that all PHP bot operators must change to Peachy, not that testers comprised of PHP bot operators are needed to assist in testing. (X! · talk) · @978 · 22:28, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"[T]he namesake of this report"? This is "Technology report", not "Brion Vibber report"... OrangeDog (τ • ε) 12:01, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm still sad that "The Report On Lengthy Litigation" feature got renamed to "Arbitration Report". - Banyan Tree 02:32, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - But we can still cling to DRAMA Discussion report... no, wait, the title of that is no longer a clever acronym either :'(. Have no fear people, BRION is going to remain BRION until... well, someone changes it I guess! - Jarry1250 ^{[Humorous? Discuss.]} 16:01, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

←Was it indeed renamed "Arbitration report"? If so, thank the gods for it. The irony was lost on many readers ... :-) Tony (talk) 16:52, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How did I never notice any of these for five years? OrangeDog (τ • ε) 12:46, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually pretty subtle. I didn't realize it myself a few years ago until it was pointed out. Check out the comments on the BRION report the week Brion resigned for an assurance that this report will remain at this title: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-09-28/Technology report :-) --seav (talk) 15:17, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
