In my opinion this DIP does not cover enough most important 
question for any DIP "what value does it bring that makes change 
worthy" or, in other words, "what problems is solves that can't 
be solved differently". Right now it is more like "this looks 
nice and you can do that" thing which does not sound convincing.
