Make It So!
===========

templates for the people

So people generally do things the easiest way possible.  If you try to
get people to send you a file with, say, a "one-off" script, they will
probably hard code a bunch of stuff in it.  Then, you're not really
sure what needs to be changed and because you're human you might make
a mistake.  Worse, its a perl script and you're a python programmer.
You don't know what that script does!

And this is the time of the iceberg.  If it really is a one-off, who
cares?  But quickly one-offs become a deployment story, and not a very
efficient one.
