In light of this and as a nod to Manu's expertise and judgment on
the matter:
We should make his reasoning on the importance of deliberately
choosing virtual vs private in API-public classes prominent in
documentation, wikis, books and other learning materials.
It may not be an important enough to justify a large language
break, but if Manu says it is genuinely a problem in his
industry, we should do our best to alleviate as much as is
reasonable.
