The trouble with planned soluttions is that it tends to *never* get implemented. Lots of talking, lots of ideas, precious little implementation. I'm not afraid of iterative solutions. It doesn't bother me to think that I might implement something today, just to get it out there, and then have to revert it. > Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do.
