I found your brain dump an interesting read, and I have to say that it
leaves me rather uninspired about making a change. It sounds to me
like if we change, some things will be better and others will not be
as good. The good news is that if we decide to change, it sounds like
we won't be a lot worse off than we are today. The bad news is that
it doesn't sound like we'll be a lot better off, either.
