People have been asked to voice their concerns and I think so far what
we're seeing is expected. People are concerned about the benefits
they get compared to the costs. Those who do regular diffs across
versions are concerned about the efficiency of those operations in the
new system. So they go and do measurements. Disk space is an issue
too. So is upgrade to new tools. Labelling it "micro-benchmarks"
will not change the reality for them. I believe you have to admit
that not everybody is going to benefit equally from the system. And
given that, I think one should pay respect to people's concerns and
constraints.

if that is indeed the case, then it will come true to them not
necessarily because they have been labelled "marginals" or "myopic".
