However, I think it is essential that we spend significant time figuring out how we can do better with future upgrades and decision processes, possibly at a point where we have enough distance that we can hear each other without anger, while not so much distance that we have lost the technical detail. As an example, if I had known protective diversions would be part of the solution back when debating whether merged /usr was something we were ready to do, I would have said we absolutely were not ready to go down the path until we had better architected tools. I'm not proposing to turn around now, and that may possibly be an area where Matthew and I disagree. But I absolutely want to lend credibility to the idea that we are digging ourselves into a hole, hoping that it will become a tunnel and we will find light at the other end. --Sam
