It's our achilles heel.  We are really bad at making decisions and we
seem to have a microcsm of that going on here as well. :-)  The usability
list probably got trashed because nobody had the drive to smack this
through.

if we picked a good VCS that allows us to try out ideas that fit into
marketing, usability or what not without having to worry about trust; 
decision-making would be a lot easier.
