I guess having watched this evolve, it's not clear to me how to do it in
a shorter time frame. Maybe we just made tons of mistakes in the
process, but it seems like anything large like this is really 3 - 4
cycles. That was the cells timeline, that's been the baremetal story
timeline. Even the scheduler forklift, that everyone thought could
happen in a single cycle, is probably going to be 3 cycles start to finish.

Ways in which we could do this quicker would be appreciated. Though I do
like getting a few hours of sleep a night.
