Hey folks,
I think all the conversation about this is really helpful, and it's
been particularly useful thus far to hear from community members about
what's confusing about the current and proposed structures. ("Not
being confusing" isn't the primary motivation for a restructure, but
it's obviousl
Picking up this thread as Erik asked me to explain the different functions
that fall under "Product". To do that, it's worth describing in a bit more
