Yes, I question the benefit listed in the Feature page.  I have personally
seen evidence to the contrary that the current release cycles are too short
to enable corporate usage.  However, I have no doubt that you could also come
up with data supporting your claim.

I am simply not convinced (yet) that the stated benefit is enough to warrant
the cost.  This does not mean you are wrong, and I do not want to get into a
bikeshed argument about it.
