Include me in the ancient crustacean category as well.  While by sheer
volume of code, we are a Cobol/Image shop, there are a couple hundred
thousand lines of SPL infrastructure glueing it all together.  Right now
it lives beneath switch stubs (our NM-to-CM switch rates would horrify
the faint of heart) but Santa brought a copy of SPLash! last week.

So SPL is very much alive and well at UTC, and about to get a boost.
