- ACCount37 10mo agoExperience of doing the wrong thing is. MCP isn't a 96-page contract that covers every eventuality. It's a gentleman's agreement sealed with a firm handshake. And trying to write that 96-page contract now would be incredibly unwise.
- vrighter 10mo agoAnd a gentlemen's agreement != standard. A standard should cover every eventuality.
