We are not trying to do a perfect conversion. We are trying to do a reasonably good conversion and then move on.
I think we had a reasonably good conversion at BoostCon 2012. Our approach was rejected by the community so we started a new approach, this time aiming for perfect conversion.
The enemy of improvement is the insistence on perfection. Irrelevant question:Will the new system be perfect? Simple question #1: Will we be better off converting than we are now? Simple question #2: Will the improvement be worth the cost in pain an suffering? Robert Ramey
