I see critiques about the current system all the time. There are things broken, things that could be made better, etc.
Indeed. The work that was put in creating the Beta would have been better put in fixing the current site gradually without alienating the user base.
We want unicode, we don't want stock photos. I don't know how to explain something like that to an MBA, but everybody around here can understand it.
We want a powerful comment system, anything that does not have that as a starting point is wrong. That is something you can explain to an MBA, just call it "strategy". Put it in the mission statement of Slashdot

And can you name a single thing about Beta that addresses any of those critiques?
