    Strong for the downstream part. Upstream rules should travel with your repository, never be locked to just one agent. I want to experiment, test different models. I could never wor…

    I remember two decades back when Games for Windows was introduced with Vista, I wrote an article that this was killing gaming. As a PC (master race) gamer back then, I didn't alway…
