The DFS_Guidelines_ don't need to hold up in court. Therefore they are able to
say that source which is unacceptable for modification because of lack of
documentation, poor programming practices, obscure language or any arbitrary
criteria you might think of for unmaintainability is no service to our users
but instead does lock them into low quality code which can only be modified
at high costs if at all.
