Thomas,

This is what I mean by a chasm with a bridge.

The more I see your thoughts on that, the more applicable I believe that metaphor is to this situation. I would embellish it to be a rope bridge. The bridge makes it easier getting across the chasm than having to jump all the way across in a do-or-die fashion. But it ain't all that simple because there are parties with a lot at stake that are standing on both ends of the rope bridge, blocking the entry and exit while at the same time shaking the rope bridge hoping the product falls into the chasm. That scenario perhaps implies that this is not an easy chasm crossing yet one not as difficult as in the case when the "sister" products have not already successfully crossed.

I still believe Moore would be seriously impressed with your metaphor.
