I'm guessing we might differ slightly on what constitutes as simple as possible.
Something usable, with severe restrictions, is actually better than we
have now. I understand the journey this work represents, so don't be
embarrassed by submitting things with heuristics and good-enoughs in
it. Our mentor, Mr.Lane, achieved much by spreading work over many
releases, leaving others to join in the task.
Might I gently enquire what the "something usable" we are going to see
in this release? I'm not up on current plans.
