I disagree Jon. I think it is easier to just dive in to the OO concepts
and "learn to swim". However, I agree that the gradual migration across
the ILE facilities smooths out the "down time" over a longer period by
allowing developers to still remain productive while picking up new
concepts. This should be easier for the stock holders to swallow.
