Having implemented a production voting system myself,(*) I suspect
you're right; Murphy's Law definitely applies in full force. That
said, Manoj's system seems like a win in terms of maintainability, and
I wish him luck should he go through with it.
(*) For MIT's undergraduate student government, as a mod_perl script
under apache-ssl. It initially used a Berkeley DB backend, but
locking issues (what else? ;-)) led me to switch to a full-fledged
PostgreSQL backend.
