As a software professional, I get comments like this all the time from management. "It's a trivial change. Why is it taking so long?" I sigh and list all the issues - the details that they don't want to deal with - that we need to figure out so that their change works correctly and doesn't mess everything else up.

I'm guessing that this forum contains lots of "armchair" developers... As another professional developer I can imagine the how hard it must be for the Illiad developers, espcially as they are working on such a high profile project...!
