I have to agree with this. It has been a real pleasure to use. I have managed about 50 workspaces... but there has been some annoying things:

  - inability to modify workspace t-shirt size
  - workspace features using AWS services but mostly hidden
  - lack of ability to re-brand the client (i did rewrap the installer with custom artwork but breaks on upgrades).
  - Linux client... still waiting. (but can run under wine)
  - not easy to use 2fa support
  - not easy to set default printer.. they are non-static
  - reboots are slow
  - no ability to declare exit IP location... UK people don't want to appear in Ireland (bad for google.com and credit card payments).. have to spin up a standalone proxy using a different provider (thanks digital ocean).
  - BYOL is great.. but inbuilt support for office365 would be better.
  - No Amazon Elastic File System yet in Ireland.. so have to run a separate fileserver for network drive.
  - Not been able to get vnc as a service working.. and can't use the windows UAC without it.
  - No ability to use custom templates on user provisioning emails.
  - Can't use human interaction device, such as dictate pedals for secretaries. 
  - .. and some more.. these are the top of my head.

  inability to modify workspace t-shirt size
What?
I _think_ it's a small/medium/large reference, but it's definitely an unconventional way to put it.
yes, common estimating method. My group at Lab 126 used it.

you're correct his usage is uncommon

Sorry, I've seen it used in a few environments now... felt like it was common nomenclature. Googling around seems to confirm.
I don't think you need to apologize. the nomenclature is common, but the usage was new to me. I like neologisms so I'm filing the numbers off your usage and stealing it :)
