We may be the minority, but my experience is we have a pretty good record
at spotting where the pinch points might come up in proposed expansions/
changes.
http://apple/ is going to break a bunch of shit.
(Ok, it might or might not break actual browsers, but I have seen "require at
least one dot or assume it's not a domain name" in *lots* of code; the
inability to put sjobs at apple in your address book will not be popular.)
Interstate-level traffic engineering types are not a big political bloc,
either... but no one ignores them when building Interstates.
