*lol*. i get that summary ["you said people were stupid!!!"] a lot.
i don't quite understand where it comes from, otherwise i would stop
doing it :)

ahh, magic. these have gone straight into that proposal. i think
the best ones - the gems - are the test-coverage and formally allowing
public interaction.

the test coverage because it will reduce the risk of errors in the
silicon [you never know when developing both hardware and software
where the bug might be] as well as reduce the development time and
development costs.

the public interaction (which i was going to ask thomas and maxime
about, this morning) because it means a much faster feedback loop.

i've been trying to think of ways to link "if you do X it will result
in more sales and reduce risk" to the discussion, and i think you
finally hit it tomasz, so thank you.
