- Embed this notice@nicholas @sun @thatbrickster i read something yesterday about an easter age for the man command where if you did it at exactly 12:30 AM without a page specified, it would say "gimmie gimmie gimmie", a reference to the abba song. it was there for six years, and they didn't think that would cause any problems and just be fun. but then there were automated testing suites in CI systems that would trigger this and fail tests and builds because of it, and that was the six years that CI and devops like, became a thing. after that happened, they removed the easter egg because it had been six years, the joke has run its course. i don't see updating some language to get away from unintended implications and consequences as fundamentally any different than this.
