Hehe - that'd be the one! Often the complex projects with least clear
direction will turn out to be the best, because they're contemplating
all kinds of possible futures, probably several at once. The ones with
nice simple timelines with key features appearing at nice simple points
are the ones to be utterly suspicious of. No engineering project /ever/
goes like that, on account of a shortage of 2nd-hand tardises.
