I am saying that any system does not come for free and has both 
setup and ongoing costs. It has to be justified by the fact that 
existing approach doesn't work anymore, "it is cool" or even "it 
is better" is not enough. D workforce is simply not large enough 
to afford commitments of limited importance.
