Bullshit.

This whole endeavour is looking like a careful plan to implement a smaller, slightly less horrible idea in Win11, and then creep forward from there.

Remember the model to move the goal line, folks:

  • Overreach
  • Capitulate publicly and fall back to your true target
  • Repeat

Best of all, these large steps can be supplemented by nudging things forward with 'adjusttments.'
