Thanks, Apu. I understood that these were their reasons and I certainly find them valid; we're talking about an amazing group of people here.
What I was trying to say was: to be brave, That it wouldn't be about waiting forever. Jumping in is important but keep a wide perspective and be able to throw it all out, over and over again. What they're looking for isn't going to come incrementally from code size. They've been given a golden chance here and I think they should consider being brave enough to lose site of shore -- to go for broke. I think the Alan of the 1970's would have done that.
