It's true the bar is set very high. However, I think they can deliver. They've already stated that development has been progressing easier than they originally anticipated. This is a legendary achievement in the software development space. I've honestly never heard someone say that when it comes to network engineering. Being able to work on it for a full year without the rest of the world breathing down your neck must be nice. I bet @dan got to recycle a lot of his old code and theories from his previous projects.
