Hi Ted,

I appreciate your concern with the schedule, and I do recognize that
there are people who think that this is too late to discuss, but I
also heard people who thought it was worth exploring, which is what
I'm asking for at the moment.

Even if I were to concede that that were not the case -- which I don't
-- it's not possible to have a discussion about what we can do to
address these issues without understanding the architectural
principles we are trying to follow, which requires actually discussing
the points I raised above.
