+1 to discussing all of those things. This process is just one aspect of the
whole conversation.

I don't really know my cars, but I don't think Ford Focus is what we want to
go for in any case.

I'm confident that we can make big change available quickly without being so

do that, though. (This is a conversation to take back to the main devel
list. And probably after the F20 release crunch is through.)
