Which makes OP's comparison to Ariane 5, a spacecraft with an infamous bug that could be described as an "integration bug" (between older and newer parts of the software), even funnier. Hopefully the development teams of a rocket were a bit more in-sync than those of Apache, bash, distribution maintainers (some of whom have made /bin/sh link to bash), and CGI programmers.
