I take this as a sign that the messaging model is the right way to go,
at least until machines start maintaining the code ;o)

Whether messaging is the Holy Grail (or not) is pretty much beside the
point -- it seems to be the only model the human brain can understand.

I repeat myself (as usual) but I urge you to keep this point in mind
for marketing purposes.  If an amateur like me can grasp the concepts,
then even managerial types should get it.
