Version Discipline

What ships. What doesn't. No exceptions.

Scope Explosion Warning

If you are reading this page because you want to add something, the answer is probably No.

Every feature added to Version 1 is time taken from polishing what already exists. The included list is final. The excluded list is intentional. "Maybe" means "No."

If you want to add a feature, you must remove an existing one of equal complexity.
