Thats the pipeline talking. Which demonstrates how disrupting it is to introduce something new. Now imagine if, not only do you have to introduce something new, but your whole foundation has to fundamentally change. This is what's being forced upon us. (I know you know this, and this isn't aimed at you. It's me throwing this out into the ether)
It's the bullying I can't stomach. The whole time-limit aspect, that undermines every sound and though out comment from AD representatives. It's so transparent that they are using their practical monopoly to leverage and force people to their ideal future. One where you toe the AD line and trust them, insensitive to the fact they have given us every reason not to.
