What if we held funerals for old programs when they died and buried a copy of the source code? How much fun would that be? I want to see the Microsoft burial plot and a wake for each successive Windows version that is killed and buried. It would make for an interesting work environment if nothing else...
Any other programmers out there besides me who want to hold a funeral for their old code and bury it? What about holding a source code wake?

The documentation is written during the hangover afterwards.
