Of course such a thing couldn't happen in secret. But the groundwork could be laid in secret. I envy you, my friend. Trust is calming and relaxing. I don't trust any official running any kind of government. I have reasons.

As I said, we'll see what happens.

It has nothing to do with trust - I lived in the Netherlands and Belgium during the final phases of the switchover. It was a massive undertaking - it is not something that could be done in the dead of night. Not the groundwork, not the regulatory framework, not anything near the infrastructure required. It is a huge, difficult business and the idea that somehow it could be delivered like a birthday surprise is totally crazy.
