126126The lesson: when we see a system that seems to want to expand indefinitely, we can and should look for a layer division within this system, separating an inner layer that tends to converge from an outer layer that naturally diverges. Layering is what distinguishes true system software from the giant balls of mud that all deep codebases want to become.
