Bill,

I have always admired the diplomatic approach you take to addressing issues like this.  The subtlety of your argument might be lost on some, so please, share with us what you really think.

To put it bluntly:  This is a bunch of crap.  Either do it right or 
don't do it at all.  There's no point doing it at all if you're not 
going to solve user's needs.  You'll just be wasting engineering resources.

What I think you need to do is map out *exactly* how you think users are 
going to use Embedded.  Go through a couple of iterations of it on this 
list.  I know a few customers that would love to participate in this 
discussion. (Cisco).  After you flush it out, Implement it.  *THEN* 
figure out how to refactor it so it fits in the grand scheme of things. 
  You're doing it backwards.
