It's not cow. Subversion security is *goat*. Inexpensive to buy the
unprepared meat, but it;'s fairly gamey, risky for inexperienced
chefs, and raises suspicious eyebrows if anyone sees you with the big
hammer you need to tenderize it. But if the chef's time costs less
than the raw materials, some customers want it.
If we can get the goat meat tenderized before it lands in our
kitchens, that saves me time to make sure the busboys (of whatever
gender) aren't drinking all the table wine and writing the init
scripts in Perl.
