   The mass of _professionals_ are stupid? Well, they are not astro-physicists,   
   but they are intellectually adequate to do their jobs fine.

   And this is justified sometimes. The professional's work is _solving issues_.   
   If he sees that this particular issue is being easily solved that way - he just   
   goes and does that way.   
      
   This works.

   At least you will have community support, which the users of exotic products   
   will have not.

   No. "Impractical" - yes. "Stupid" - no. But, sorry, being "impractical" can be   
   like a court's sentence in some business areas.

   They need a bugdet to open the project on making the new tools. Maybe this   
   budget is not given to them.   
      
   This is their problem. Not conservatism.
