I think that my analogy was inappropriate in that the question isn't really even keeping RADIUS alive (I really think it will likely out-live me easily, even with no more work).  Cosmetic surgery might be a better example: is it really necessary to continue the facelifts & nips & tucks & enhancements?  If so, then let's just do it all at once; otherwise, let it age gracefully & move on to Diameter.  There's pain involved either way, but at least we'll have a plan.
