I would definitely have to agree.  I would much prefer to have a minimal
solution implemented and then to iterate over it in the future than to try
to figure out the perfect implementation the first time.
Just from watching where the thread about namespaces has gone, I would
definitely have to say that we have set the expectation for ourselves that
the first implementation will be the only one and therefore has to be
perfect.  And that's hard to live up to :)
