I think the question aj is asking is should the SC be a requirement or
an ideal. If it is a requirement, then we cannot release etch if we
fail to reach it. If it is an ideal, then we can release etch saying
that we are still behind our ideal in some respects.
I think the SC is a requirement and if we knowingly continue to break
it, it sends a bad message to our users.
