Hello,
The real problem is that most of Alavoor's stuff is like this. Remember
Alavoor's was the person that originally wrote the PostgreSQL-HOWTO (which
I am currently replacing).
The PostgreSQL-HOWTO was so horrendous that RedHat won't ship it with the
LDP archive.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
