No it is not the only argument it is just stating the fact that we had the debate previously in which the arguments were made and the balance was in favor of SDP.  As I said I don't really want to reopen all the old arguments.

I am saying that people are getting frustrated and considering a change because we are concentrating on extending SDP rather than keeping things simple and focusing on the current deliverables as specified in the charter.  If we had not gone this route then I think we would have more success and people would not have become so frustrated.

Changing fundamental decisions at a late stage is not a major deal and comes with great costs so needs even more justification than the original decision did.
