It hit the list, and I answered.  But here's the summary, updated:

1) I used to have a module for this.  
2) IMP now has such a function in CVS versions, and it is much better than
   mine was (or would likely be).
3) So no, there won't be a sork module for this, since it will be IMP.

I haven't checked yet, but I think it is in IMP RELENG_3.  (I have a copy
in an archive for 3.1-cvs, which I guess is RELENG_3, and a better one in
4.0-cvs, which I guess is HEAD).

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
