Evidence of tremedous energy and intellect here:

Why can't we harness that energy to fix more of the meat & 
potatoes problems that exist and have existed for a while?

It seems the focus of initiatives are skewed toward 'wow' 
features and truly neat enhancements to D. But the original 
claims and promise of D on a certain level is within reach if the 
focus is on the more mundane.

Thanks
