Good philosophy, John, but the idea is to have a platform that meets a set of specs that meet a set of requirements. Not, "This will do what you need, but it will be able to do whole lot more stuff that your requirement doesn't state as long as you're happy to pay a lot more and to tear up your required IOC date."
The big problems seem to be the basics at the moment - we all know the list. Future technology growth can come later. As LO has said, lots of aircraft delivered with no capability isn't what we really wanted.
