Now I can understand why you made these decisions. It makes sense to me.
But I'd like to know which direction the ship is sailing.
The current rationale is to proof that D is ready for prime time. Though

But in general the decision process should be as open and transparent as
possible. In Jacob's words: We need a road map.
