Woah woah woah hold on.

These are judges and lawyers, not software engineers.

Personally it sounds like the lawyers and whatnot can do the whole splitting up the business. It will simultaneously create a HUGE demand in software engineers as all this stuff just sort of stops working.

I think it's a brilliant way to handle this.

Plus the effect it would have on software engineer salaries in general. Not that I have any potential conflict of interest in stating this opinion, not at all.
