I have a crazy idea!

What if instead of a common singular goal to uniformly raise the bar
across projects, we have each project work on their *most* painful
operator perceived performance or experience issue and attempt to try
and eliminate the issue or perception? And where cross-project
integrations are involved, other projects could put review priority on
helping get fixes or improvements pushed forward to address such
operator experiences.

Such an effort would take a dramatically different appearance by
project, and would really require each project to identify a known
issue, and then to report it back along with the gain they yielded
from the effort. Of course, to get there, projects would also have to
ensure that they could somehow measure the impact of their changes to
remedy such an issue.
