Let's focus on the parts that are great and use those to refactor the other parts. So as opposed to saying, now for something entirely new, we're returning to the central roots of our greatness and then refactoring the other ones. And that's actually, I think, a good change. Now, that being said... We've had a lot of culture episodes. And part of that's because you should be intentional about it.
