[MD] Unkludging the MoQ

[John Carl]

Ian,

I agree.  The nerds I grew up with spoke lovingly of hacks, disparagingly of
kludges - but BOTH are solutions.  A perfect hack is a beautiful think.  A
perfect kludge is an ugly think, but I repeat, both are valid solutions.

The thing about a kludge, is that without them, we'd often have nothing at
all.  Sure, they cry out for elegant refinement, being  a stop-gap measure,
a temporary solution.   But isn't that even kinda cool?  An invitation for
improvement means there is more to be thought.

The process winds on.

John
