Apple admits the Mac Pro was a mess

Three related but not dependent things keep getting conflated:

1. The trash can design was not able to accommodate much heat variance and so was not updatable.

2. The trash can Mac Pro didn't suit some pro needs because of lack of graphics card and internal storage upgradability.

3. Dual graphics cards with an emphasis on OpenCL was the wrong direction to go in.

I think they got in a paralyzed state waiting for the right set of new GPUs and CPUs they could update it with, and took far too long before they could admit the design was too inflexible.
