This remains a too overlooked aspect of software architecture. I think you'll find it provokes thought, if you can manage to listen through to the end; I was very nervous so my speech is shaky, and my slides doesn't quite help make things more clear. (Talk delivered at the Reboot 7.0 conference, June 11, 2005, Copenhagen, Denmark.)
