Maybe a VC 3.0 can solve them all, but it doesn't feel like VC 2.0 has time.

Ah, good, thank you for this, Christopher. It seems I completely
misinterpreted your email to the mailing list and will re-read it with
the perspective you outlined above. I will try to find the time over
the next couple of weeks to provide thoughts on each of your concerns
-- as I said, I do think there are some good points being made there
and perhaps discussing the other items will help us find a common
understanding of where we are and what's possible (both near term and
far into the future).
