You can fix this! Don't point to something you can easily remedy in the short-term as an argument

I'd think its indicative of the lack of interest in serious covenants designs from many of the
highly-qualified people who could be working on them. There are many reasons for that. If there's
one positive thing from the current total mess, its that hopefully there will be a renewed interest
in researching things and forming conclusions.
