It comes back to incremental change versus "boil the ocean." I don't have a lot of visibility into what ideas cross over from incremental to infrastructure. OTOH, maybe its good that I don't have that coloring my thought process. Given a "future footprint" specification perhaps there is a way to pull incremental changes out of it that are easy to implement in the current engine, and then as the infrastructure comes on line more pieces of it can be enabled. Or, maybe there is "future footprint" and "transition footprint" format.
