The old page had a different job: help someone stop before releasing something consequential. It made sense for that version of D. The work has since opened out.

“Pre-release.” “High-stakes.” Further down: what will be hard to repair, what to revise, what to withhold. Read them together and you can feel the page bracing itself. Something might go wrong.
