I don’t think the main point is that these are exactly the increments. Rather, that it _is_ a series of increments where each step builds on the ones before and enables the next ones. It’s also illustrating the iterative loop from tech vendor to government and the increase from “recommended” to “mandatory.”

We are well along this process already.

Larry Lessig wrote “Code and other laws of cyberspace” back in the 90s (I think). It’s scary how much of what he wrote now looks _optimistic_.
