Something to keep in mind, IMO, is the great success we had with LP 3.0.  I
think there will always be grumblings when you change anything (witness
Facebook ;), but with my upstream hat on, I think LP 3.0 was an enormous
positive leap in usability.  Everyone was lazr (sorry :) focused on a common
task and we fixed tons of little bugs.  In hindsight it also seemed really
pretty agile, at least once we got going.  Let's do more of that.
