Or, even worse, "which causes new heretofore unexperienced problems for
completely unrelated items and services."

Remember always that important principle:

"The Internet is the only human endeavour in which a single character
typographical error in a file on a server *on the other side of the 
planet* can cause your entire network to come crashing to the ground."

I think I've got that right.  :-)

Can't remember who said it though.  Some BGP-speaker, almost certainly.
