Much as I agree with your sentiments, in many environments, the use of 
ISO 9000 is *required*, as in you don't get the contract if you don't 
follow ISO 9000. I have not seen any evidence, personally, that ISO 9000 
actually ensures a perfect product, but it is a political requirement of 
many environments.

I'm not familiar-enough with ISO 9000 to judge whether a sed script is 
"too great a burden", but I once worked in an environment where writing 
a Python script to clean some ugly code got someone (not me) fired for 
using an "unauthorized tool", even when the script produced a clear 
benefit for the project. I did not stay at that workplace very long.

Is anyone using GCC in an ISO 9000 environment? Just curious.
