Lots of people still use mermaid for checking email and other low-load
tasks, although most people doing coding now use mussel. If mussel can
handle the additional load of everyone checking their email then I don't
see why we shouldn't use mermaid as a moray replacement, and then use
the Pentium we just had donated to replace Mako.
