I don't get the impression that the board wants spins to stop.  Far from
it.  What I think the board wants is to help settle vision and focus and
arguments when a spin wants a package to work one way, and the default
offering wants the package to work another way.  In these scenarios
there needs to be a default, a target to shoot for, an experience we're
trying to provide in our default offering, and that needs to "win" over
a spin which focuses on something else.  Or at least this is one benefit
to defining a target audience.
