I agree.  And even when it wasn't stated as a five year program, it
turned out to be.

I'm particularly concerned about computer scientist ( and not 
programmers ) having weak backgrounds in such things as logic,
natural languages and such essentials as ethics.  Such deficiences
could be cured in a five year program.
