Correct. But what we have learned from many years with Apple is that some of those cliffs disappear before you get close, or they just turn into bumps. Waiting til 2014 rather than 2004 meant using much better versions of Xcode. We skipped manual ref-counting entirely, and several older constraint systems. Probably other BS that we never even knew about. There have been all sorts of innovations that were deprecated a few years later. Sometimes "just in time" is better. I think this gets back to the transparency issue. If Apple were more open about the future, it would be easier to know which cliffs are real.
