+## Random design points that fit nowhere else
+
+- All features should follow the 90/9/1 rule. 90% of all use cases
+  should be easy, 9% should be possible and it is totally fine to not
+  support the final 1% if it would make things too complicated.
+
+- Any build directory will have at most two toolchains: one native and
+  one cross.
+
+- Prefer specific solutions to generic frameworks. Solve the end
+  user's problems rather than providing them tools to do it
+  themselves.
