But since it did come out in 2003, we really should be asking _why_ it
isn't the answer to our present questions, in order to avoid the effort
of creating CEDET2 and CEDET3.

I don't think the idea is to curtail it but rather to _shape_ it.  If we
decide we need $x and CEDET provides $x, then either we haven't fully
figured out the details of the $x we need or CEDET does something wrong
when providing it.  Figuring out either will hopefully save us time in
arriving at something actually doing what we want.
