Rails (you know - that web framework thingey) has a plugin that generates a 
scaffold, with good tests, and then you play with the code to add your custom 
features.

We were looking for a scaffold, and found this one had notes saying it was 
"officially" deprecated on behalf of another scaffold.

That one you could not edit. It was a framework inside a framework, and you had 
to research and apply every tweak to every (runaway) argument to their entry 
points, just to change anything.

We went with the "obsolete" version of the scaffold. (-:
