I wouldn't say we flipped anything.  But we have made a lot of progress 
on the model; at first we thought abstract supers at all were a bridge 
too far, but we found the right set of constraints and it seems to fit 
naturally now.  So it makes sense to ask the question whether we're at 
the edge, or whether further crank-turns are worth exploring.

I was mostly reacting to Kevin's comments; he seemed to be going 
somewhere with the "could we get people to adopt B2 by default", and 
probing for where that might go, and what constraints we'd have to 
reexplore, to see if there was untapped value there.
