Steps:
0. Identify where you want to be: What is the yardstick?
Example: We want to be highly-available, in multiple-datacenters
1. List the goals along the way (how do we know we're getting there, are there increments to get there?)
Example: 
	1. We want DR
	2. We want automated failover
	3. We want active / read-only
	3. We want active / active / active
2. How do we know we're getting there?
	1. Ensure projects do not build for single-datacenter, and take into account the MDC story
	2. We want projects to build for the long-goal of active / active / active
	
3. What are the next steps to getting there?
	1. Research a MDC replacement for partie
	2. Build out multiple data centers
	etc...
