I appreciate that, but you should go back and read what I actually wrote, rather than what someone else perceived me to write. You might find there's a difference.

I'm not saying anything to be pessimistic about Pld's. I definitely didn't say it wasn't viable, and I didn't mean to imply that people should drop the job wholesale. I'm only acknowledged that, given the history of the job, it's easier to accept and move on when faced with a difficult fight rather than toughing it out for changes that will either come too late or not come at all. That might be pessimistic about how SE handles job adjustments, but I really don't think that's an unjustified pessimism, given the very real back and forth history of tanking problems. That's not exclusive to Pld, either. I may not have mentioned Drk, but they've had a pretty rough patch history as well (just not quite as long as Pld's). They could chose to tough it out in a fight that they're not suited for and hope SE will do something about it, or they could simply take the path of least resistance and swap jobs for that instance. It's not the ideal situation, but is it really all that surprising? Personally, I don't think so.

The fact is that both Pld and Drk have had to do their fair share of catch up over the life cycle of HW. The changes haven't been universally reliable. I'm just recognizing that fact.
