Sure.
Just using the latest/newest/trendiest 'time' class from A.B.C. place de jour in new code is a(nother) maintenance nightmare waiting to happen :-) we've had enough of that in the codebase.
It's a way to move forward today, without having to fix Time & break master quite horribly (or adding a different set of methods to Time).
I like Lubos' attitude. Quite possibly we should have an easy hack to re-work the time code everywhere (along with adding suitable unit-tests).
Agreed, but beside my point. The question was whether Time should be fixed - what I said is that prolly Time is beyond fixing. ;) Cheers, -- Thorsten
