Just to second, or eighth or whatever, the other comments.
Yes - it's a dba job
Yes - it's a pain.
Yes - it has little upside.
Yes - it requires understanding coffee language.
Yes - the docs are poor.
On the plus side -
those sorts of things make it interesting.
there aren't many good consultants on it so it adds to job security.
once it runs it tends to run until something changes (42 days).
so commiserations and congratulations.
