there's something odd to my ear about people needing to 
*be presented* with better alternatives than doing harm to the architecture
as opposed to those people *developing* better alternatives.

I suspect there's something about the current economic climate that
favors development of quick fixes over development of sane ones.
but the apparent shortsightedness still bothers me.
