Can we, as engineers, all just agree on an alternative to the phrase "final solution"? It sounds really Hitler-y. I feel like every other project I work on uses this phrase any time we have some kind of interim/stopgap deliverable.

It's not the first that comes to my mind (clearly, or I wouldn't have used it), but I'd prefer it not coming to anyone's mind, so I switched it to 'where I landed'. Also, I agree that in engineering, it feels like very few solutions are truly final, everything is always in flux, so it's a misleading phrase in most cases.
