Your recommendation resonates a little better with the sentiments
expressed by others about Io. It's clearer _to me_ now, exactly
_where_ the problem areas are.

I also now _see_ a bit more clearly, how the "acute" approach of
writing everything "in the language" except for the bootstrap
process, would benefit the upgrade / update / bug-fix process
immensely.

Thanks for the input!
