"one line" solutions - they look good and are perfect under one 
condition if they work _always_  otherwise you need mroe support in 
runtime to deal with "leaky abstractions"

i always wondered what is the best way to support problem resolution in 
such case.

in other words: how to do tracing/debugging such distributed systems 
when such fundamental chnage can be done by just tweaking one 
configuration parameter ...
