I agree wholeheartedly with your email. But I wonder if this part is a bit looking at the past through rose coloured glasses. Vector roll out was certainly better than some other feature rollouts, but... it was hardly without pain if I remember correctly. Although it was a long time ago, and before I was involved on the dev side, so my memory is a bit fuzzy.
I was also a bit surprised to hear that process held up as a positive example. But it was before my time as well, so I don't have direct knowledge, just what Liam related to me.
The parts of that process I'm most excited about are: 1. setting public success criteria ahead of time, based on user adoption/retention 2. the public commitment to iterate*, before broad rollout, based on specific feedback from beta testers.
