* How do I release this?
  * I must be able to perform a 'rolling' release this in a live system w/o
    causing a service interruption
  * does it break backward compatability with existing users of the api/system/etc
  * do we need to cut a new XSD?  A new version (URI prefix) of our API?
  * did we make updates to checkouts/SNAPSHOT deps? Do we need to cut new versions of project deps?
  * how do I support existing users?
  * in what order do the affected systems need to be released?
  * are there system or service configuration changes that are required?
* What are the Security implications of my change?
  * does this involve sensitive information or data?
  * does this expose information across users?
  * does this expose information outside our systems?
* What are the data-retention implications of my change (infinities suck)?
* Does this lead to a resource-exhaustion issue?  To unbounded resource allocation?
* Can this return an infinite result set?
* Should I consult with other developers / pairs on my design?
  * The anwser to this is usually yes
* Do other developers need to be made aware of my changes?
  * what are the implications they should be aware of?
* Are there potential concurrency issues when multiple threads are running this code?
* Are there potential concurrency issues when multiple app servers are running this code?
* How do I test this?
* Should I write an automated test for this?
* What are the ways in which this can fail?
* How can this gracefully degrade when it fails?
* Is this internal functionality or public?  In other words should it be protected?
* Who should be able to exercise this functionaltiy?
  * all users?
  * a specific group / role?
* Metrics: how will I know when this is or is not working?
  * how will I measure the performance of the feature?
  * performance means: are users using it as well as how long does execution take
* How will I monitor this?
* Do we bill based on this feature?
  * what do we need to track in order to bill?
* Does any of my code violate CQRS design?
* Does this require a change to our backup process?
* Does this information need to be exported to other systems? 
    (Caching Layer, Metrics, Analytics, Reporting, Data Warehouse, 
     Client Data Marts, etc)
  * does the data model exist in the destination system?
* Are there implications I should review with product?
* Do I have ideas about this that I should discuss with product?
* What new configuration does this imply or require?
* I understand that this is not a rote / exhaustive list - I will consider
    whatever else needs to be considered to do the right thing for the customer,
    Relay and my team.
