This is a great article for setting out a lot of the various possibilities and the boundaries within which those possibilities would work.
It's relatively objective but I note a consistent positive spin: "here's all the ways this thing would be great" without any "here's why this would be bad" or "here's why it's going to be hard to get there from here". (I'm reminded of computer gaming magazine previews, which are always super-positive, since they always assume everything being promised will be delivered, despite the fact that it almost never is.)
But then I'm biased towards cynicism obviously.
