I agree with the sentiment that there are cultural issues with the federal space, and it requires continuous diligence of dedicated people to change the landscape and move the needle. Devops take a long time to grow organically - and it's longer in the federal government due to silos, compliance, finance, regulations.

The list is a nice dream, and it is with the will of those in the federal work force who can break down those silos and bring about a common understanding with urgency that'll make it happen for their project.
