2017-01-16 Thread Mike Connor
I think the rule is fine, subject to the reality that the scope of totally new doc-level UX is fairly limited. I think you'll want to be a little more aggressive up front if you want to shift the overall codebase in finite time. To that end, I'd propose an additional requirement that any major re
