We only have a fighting chance to create an app that feels high-quality if we 
reduce complexity. Dirk has said it before, and I'm entirely behind this: dive 
planning is not a core feature for the foreseeable future. We need to limit 
the featureset to the absolute necessary for quite a while.

I'd much rather have something small, stable and high quality than a swiss 
army knife that falls apart the moment you look at it.

There are many areas in subsurface which need improvements, implementing a 
dive planner is going to distract from making them work really well.
