I welcome scope reduction, focusing on fewer features, stability, and
bug fixes than "more gadgetries and gongs".  Which also means: less
frenzy, less split attention, fewer mistakes, more retained
concentration, and more serenity.  And, yeah, any reasonable person
would read '25' as _an_ educated limit, rather than some "optimal
limit".

If we end up with bags of "spare time", there's loads of tech-debt
items, performance (it's a feature, let's recall) issues, and meaningful
clean-ups waiting to be tackled.
