I agree with your sentiment - though I might have said it a little
differently ;-) Remember Paul Reed's share of the ownership as well. 

No reorganisation of this sort should be considered without first requesting
their approval. Personally, I don't believe the implied need for haste is
necessary - I'd prefer to wait a few weeks for a well-considered solution to
any problem that might arise. 

The Pascal experience was an interesting one. For a good while every man and
his dog were pointing out deficiencies and coming up with half-baked
solutions. Then, (seemingly out of the blue), Wirth announced Modula-2 -
with virtually all of the problems neatly solved in a very elegant and
systematic way. 

Regards,
Chris
