Not nearly as bad, but this reminds me of some of the ridiculous requirements at the last program I worked at my previous employer.<p>One of those was that our code had to compile on a 32-bit SPARC pizza box running Solaris 2.6.  This was in 2009.  It was all about some stupid metric: our code portability was measured by how many different platforms we could compile and run on.  It didn&#x27;t matter how obsolete or inappropriate those platforms were; if we could compile and run it counted.  Having that number go down was politically unacceptable.
