+		To quote a Drools mailing list regular (Dave Hamu):
+		"It seems to me that in the excitement of working
+with rules engines, that people forget that a rules engine is only one
+piece of a complex application or solution.  Rules engines are not
+really intended to handle workflow or process executions nor are
+workflow engines or process management tools designed to do rules.  Use
+the right tool for the job.  Sure, a pair of pliers can be used as a
+hammering tool in a pinch, but that's not what it's designed for."
