Thanks for bringing up the idea Thierry. I agree, it's worth looking at
what we're doing and why occasionally to make sure we're not doing
things just because "that's what we do."

I think some good feedback came out of all of this at least, so maybe we
can still simplify some things, even if we can't fully collapse our
release models.
