At first I thought some spammer had gotten through again and was promoting some kind of vegetation-improvement product, but then I saw it was from Zope, so I knew it was a legitimate piping design-related message from a long-timer.

Then I thought he was talking about the usefullness of one of those plant life-cycle management software suites that promise to manage an entire facility from greenfield to decommissioning. Nah, couldn't be, given the pace of technology and the current state of the art in plant software.

It ended up being a great question instead.
