I agree re the downsizing / cutting into parts as an approach, and very much welcome discussion on the specifics.

On the development front, work continues, somewhat complicated by the sobering realisation that the republic is just about ready to mirror its spectacular failure on the software front -- because seriously now, why not stick to what fails.
