Nearly all workplaces have nonnegotiable policies, and it's likely that these will not be compatible. So there must always be an adaptation layer between a more or less generic distribution and the specific policies on site. The adaption layer is bidirectional: the distribution should be prepared to accept and de-specialize contributions from any particular environment, just as each participant must be prepared to specialize the generic distribution to their needs. An important part of Consensus is recognizing when it doesn't apply. +1 to everything else, tho! :) Bryce
