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.
I think that's a great idea.
