explain why this was rewritten

__epilog__ = '''This scripts will predict when major OS upgrades will complete,

based on regular samples stored in a CSV file, which are added from

PuppetDB. It will also draw a graph, on the GUI or in a file,

representing the state of the CSV file and progress.'''

representing the state of the CSV file and progress. This project is a

rewrite of this R toolset in Python:

https://gitlab.com/anarcat/predict-os'''

# the reason this was rewritten in Python was that:

#

# 1. libreoffice is a catastrophe, see the original predict-os for details

# 2. i don't want to learn how to read/write/parse CSV files in R

# 3. i don't want to learn how to make R talk with PuppetDB

# 4. i got tired of chasing the PuppetDB SQL database changes

# 5. i had to use python to massage data anyways

# 6. "code without tests is legacy code" and i don't want legacy code
