Also, MIGRATIONS!

Interfaces are VERY GOOD for migrations.

If you decide that you want to stop using some compiler flag, or maybe use a different compiler, or change your python version, or...

You can right a regex to go over all your shell invocations, change them, then test, or you can do something like:

``` def build_thing(name, srcs, hdrs, migration=False): if migration: ...

build_thing( name = "my_lib", srcs = ["my_lib.cc"], hdrs = ["my_lib.h"], ) ```

You can then manually flip that to test stuff, write a script to flip it for every team, sending out a PR (because your targets can have oncalls) and they can land it, and then at the end you can flip the default and manually add a False to the holdouts.

All this stuff gives you the ability to do hard stuff at scale.
