I have not dug in to the brave new entropy world. I'm sure it's better in many ways, but it also seems like people/systems that used to not end up blocked before now do, apparently because some sources that used to be considered ok (timing of events) no longer are. So I think people should be given clues - things appear a bit too difficult now.
