It's only the first iteration. I think it is a very sensible order to think
about what you want to be, without too much context. When you're down the list
for the first run, next iterations will probably a bit less order and more
chaos.

One of the stronger points of a chaordic organization is that it attempts to
reverse that relation. The basic rule is "put responsibilities at the lowest
possible level", which is easy to say but hard to execute...
