"Surface" word choice (Section 4.6) #41

Closed mferguson-rpc closed 9 months ago

mferguson-rpc commented 10 months ago

Should we update "surface" with another term? This use doesn't seem to fit the following:

From American Heritage: verb 1 [no object] rise or come up to the surface of the water or the ground: he surfaced from his dive. • come to people's attention; become apparent: the quarrel first surfaced two years ago. • informal (of a person) appear after having been asleep: it was almost noon before Anthony surfaced. 2 [with object] (usually be surfaced) provide (something, especially a road) with a particular upper or outer layer: a small path surfaced with terra-cotta tiles.

Original: The features, deployment, and operation of these dependencies can surface centralization into functions and applications built "on top" of them.

Perhaps:

The features, deployment, and operation of these dependencies can become centralization risks for the functions and applications built "on top" of them.
