I'm not sure if I agree with you when you say that we should never
tackle the non-core issues, but I certainly agree when you say that we
shoudn't tackle them now, or any time in the near future (within the
next 5-10 years, say). So I won't debate you on this - any
disagreement we have isn't going to be currently relevant anyway, and
I wouldn't want to give anybody the impression that I advocate taking
on non-core issues right now. :-)
