Maybe you want TLS but getting a proper subdomain for your project requires talking to a bunch of people who move slowly?

Very very true, never thought about orgs like that. However, I don't think someone should use this like a bandaid like that. If the idea is that you want to have a domain associated with a service, then organizationally you probably need to have systems in place to make that easier.

  • Ideally, sure. But in some places you're what you're proposing is like trying to boil the oceans to make a cup of tea

    VBA et al succeeded because they enabled workers to move forward on things they would otherwise be blocked on organizationally

    Also - not seeing this kind of thing could be considered a gap in your vision. When outsiders accuse SV of living in a high-tech ivory tower, blind to the realities of more common folk, this is the kind of thing they refer to.
