This is not a "reform." This is a foundational change. Anything done here will either be really goddamn difficult to undo - or it's missing the point of doing it.

And obviously doing it is not necessary for any of the positive changes you can rattle off.

So kindly take any further false dichotomies between 'we must do this specific massive change now now now' versus 'you don't want anything to change ever again,' and eat them.
