This is true to a degree at DO though these changes to language and positioning aren't quite so large to require everything you listed. We rolled out the copy change a few minutes ago to change "Notifications" to "Email Subscriptions" as suggested.

I wonder if this change breaks the extension, ha.

I can appreciate the flexibility you're offered even with the A-list clientele you have. In a world of "move fast and break things" I've re-worked that into my own mantra of "move fast and make things better."

In fintech we can't afford -- both figuratively and literally -- to break things, but you still have to allow your teams to take a crazy "bar napkin" idea and run with it without a bunch of red tape or you lose the competitive edge that makes you stand out.

Now changing the wording on a link isn't a crazy bar napkin idea, but it still demonstrates the flexibility you're afforded to make things better and I see a lot of value in that.
