Maybe it's time to start looking harder for that luxury, instead of
putting up with the received wisdom of "if we build a huge centralized
system, everything will work better."

The longer we spend on that set of knotty issues, and the more we
privilege work that address those issues, the less time we have to
consider alternatives that might just make our lives a lot easier and
keep a lot of us sane.

The mainstream will be the mainstream until enough people (and
organizations) leave it.  Risk is scary, but change doesn't happen
without it.
