Again the infrastructure team deserves more credit than you give it.

At some point you have to ship and do fine-tuning later. With perfect
hindsight better questions would have been asked, but with perfect
hindsight people wouldn't have had to ask them in the first place, and
that F7 happened is testament the delivered infrastructure/process does
not fall too far of the mark.

The problems are obvious now because we have something (tools+processes)
to play with, and that's loads more we'd have if people had discussed it
half a year more.
