Another option is using a package system that properly handles dependencies. http://www.nixos.org/, for example, allows multiple Perl versions, multiple CPAN trees - and even within CPAN different module dependencies. That makes for predictable deployment, and can help development too when testing diffferent CPAN dependencies. Interestingly Nix can be used inside Debian. I have it on all my systems to test different setups. Way to go Nix! There is also an article on linux.com.
It takes 10-20 years to build nuclear power plants. Do the math. Also wind power and solar will in no forseeable future replace our current need for power. Leave alone the growing need. You missed two points of my short message: (1) we need to reduce consumption and (2) even after solving CO2 there will be other problems. The whole thing is caused by a growing population combined with unsustainable consumption. Indeed, an unpopular message.
CO2 pollution is definitely a problem we have to tackle. It is unfortunate few people realize we are going to add as much CO2 to the atmosphere in the coming 10 years as we did in the last 40. So if we have a problem now...
Unfortunately, yes, CO2 confronts us now. But there will be other problems to follow, which may be even worse. We have to change the way we deal with our environment - i.e. the way we consume - to survive.
I have tried the Herman Miller chair, but it has the basic flaw of not being 'active'. If you spend most of your day behind a terminal an active chair is a must. Personally I am satisfied with a Stokke chair (Norwegian make). It forces you to keep your back straight. It is also nice when making phone calls or talking to someone: it rocks.

Bitkeeper, from early days, aimed to support Linus' way of working. It has been on the books for years. I am surprised the move did happen ;-).
If it is good for Linux it is good to support the bitkeeper developers.
