10 years of anaconda

With this commit, anaconda began its reign of terror over the installer landscape. Ten years and hundreds of thousands of lines later, we are still working on it. Sure, all of the original authors are gone and most of the original code has been rewritten or removed, but anaconda marches on. So today, say a brief prayer thanking anaconda that your computer got installed upon, and have a drink in its honor.

I, however, have only been working on this thing for 4.5 years. It will be a long time before we’re celebrating the ten year anniversary of my first commit. Perhaps I will have moved on myself by then.
