My first loyalty is to a healthy metaverse, and I acknowledge that it would be foolhardy beyond a certain complexity threshold, which SL seems to be inevitably approaching, to plan the future of the grid in one spot as Linden Labs has done to date.

Having said that, one must remember to 饮水思源。"to recognise where one has come from originally." It's okay not to cloud one's judgement with a bias towards Linden Lab, but a little nostalgia and recognition is due.
