The 7.0 Graphical update preview is an objective failure

The thing is, the changes people are asking for are entirely possible.

Theoretically possible, sure.
Possible to do and still release DT this year? You and I don't know the answer to that.

And the "multi-million dollar company" line of argument doesn't get off the ground with me:
I spent 30 years working for multi-billion dollar high-tech companies, including being technical lead of a microprocessor development team at Intel, and the fact that the company made billions every quarter didn't do us any good. Upper management gave us schedules and budgets, and we were expected to meet them. (Plus we had to compete with other projects for immutably-limited resources like wafer starts and C-suite mindshare.)

And even if we'd had unlimited money, it wouldn't have helped: real talent is always rarer than you'd like, and adding even competent people to a high-performance team, if you can find them, does nothing but slow things down; this has been recognized since at least the publication of The Mythical Man-Month. It's just human nature that throwing more than seven or so people onto a project leads to inefficiencies (if not outright sabotage when internecine office warfare breaks out).

So when Yoshida-san say "as possible," he means "as possible given the temporal, fiscal, human, and technical limitations we have to operate within." And there aren't many people outside CBU3 who really understand what that means.

Yoshida-san has a track record, and that track record makes me believe he is going to do his best.
His best has been pretty good so far, so I believe it will be enough. YMMV.
