Release Terminology Clarified -- MVP?

It seems like a simple question, but how it is answered is massive on proportion. After reading the discussion of SAFE Network Brand ID Competition it created a similar set of questioning for me. I think a well defined MVP that is clearly stated and followed exactly would be helpful here on out. We should be able to ask anyone who has been here more than a week and they should know it. Yes, one could say an MVP is difficult to define as development causes changes leading up to the MVP; because x may not lead to y that then won’t lead to z…etc. I would counter that time period for MaidSafe has come and gone; if we truly are ‘on the brink of achievement.’ If we (MaidSafe and community) are not to a place to say we need x y z to complete and then we will be at sumMVP, then we are in no different place than two years ago.

I have been doing a lot of soul searching the last few days and I am at piece with my decision to see this ride to SAFEcoin Network MVP conclusion. One of the gifts MaidSafe have already given us is the open and transparent development process, which allows anyone to see this to the end. IMHO The Minimum Viable Product for the SAFEnetwork is SafeCoin. It is okay if the core developers want to call it whatever else, but filling in a roadmap with a legend of where we need to cut a road would be massively helpful.
