Correct. But what we have learned from many years with Apple is that some
of those cliffs disappear before you get close, or they just turn into
bumps. Waiting til 2014 rather than 2004 meant using much better versions
of Xcode. We skipped manual ref-counting entirely, and several older
constraint systems. Probably other BS that we never even knew about. There
have been all sorts of innovations that were deprecated a few years later.
Sometimes "just in time" is better.
I think this gets back to the transparency issue. If Apple were more open
about the future, it would be easier to know which cliffs are real.
