Very good and informative video. I think it is interesting how the design considerations have changed so much just in 5 or 6 years. It used to be empty root and most people followed that. We are now moving to the single domain/forest concept for the most part which is a good thing. I understand that you all can't do that but I liked your recommendation.

The snapshots will be really cool to try out.
