The focus is first on what is absolutely needed, then what is just wanted. So in effect I flipped the sentence around a bit in an attempt to address the underlying intent. To me the original is too long, and since it was addressing "maintenance" it seemed to address a requirement indirectly. Flipping it around refocuses the intent on the need first. See also talrnu's answer. I also like Edwin's answer: "Maintenance shouldn't be an extra" but "should" can imply "want" in this context. | |
