Yeah, I think having that perhaps as a primary goal and listing other
possible things as 'if we can get to them' might be best. 

One issue is that it might be 2 people are implementing something
related to 2 factor and others have to wait for that to be done before
they can do their part, they could work on something else. 

But I agree, we should try and focus...
