Very true. I don't like blueprints either. Indeed I find them approximately useless and just another annoying thing one has to update from time to time along with weekly reports, etc. So far as I can tell they aren't for engineers - they are for managers to track progress, so from that point of view the current system does at least have the benefit of simplicity. Making them more complicated _might_ make them more useful (which would encourage updating if engineers found them useful for day-to-day work), but more likely it'd just make them more tiresome to update, but still essentially uninteresting. I'm afraid I don't know what the 'right' answer is, but I'm not convinced that 'more emphasis on, and process encoded in, blueprints' is it.
