Sounds a bit like Hold On for Dear Life.
I do agree that there have been some good things to come out of the downturn and there have been some lessons learnt. Not as many as I would have liked (the SBD peg mechanism is still unchanged) but I guess even slow progress is still progress....
Well, since the Economic Improvement Proposal is now front and center, I don't know if anything else matters at the moment, even though it's only supposed to be a proposal up for discussion. So, SBD peg mechanism, SMTs, communities—we'll be talking about the EIP for a while. :)
