Take a look further down the thread, since this has already been
heavily debated.  Not sure if there has been a clear winner or any
kind of agreement yet (if there ever will be), but until there is or I
until I am convinced otherwise, I'm going to continue on with the
chronological method.

Also, as far as I'm aware, tools like `b4` and the-like haven't been
mandated (yet?), so using its rules to dictate our actions probably
isn't the correct approach.
