    How would you determine the age of software? The Archive is four years old. Yet, it looks back at his ancestor nvALT and inherits part of its wisdom.

    If you app allows free flow of data (e.g. plaintext) age is extended by lineage.

    I'd opt for "don't care" because I don't typically wait for 7 years before investing in new technology.
    When we are talking about PC software and new technology then maturity is the least important to me. Then again, new technology is not something I depend on voluntarily.
