Hi Bob,

>SRP is very simple...different people want to change a class for ... different reasons...

Back in October 2009, in https://sites.google.com/site/unclebobconsultingllc/getting-... I asked you a question on the SRP and you replied as follows:

"SRP says to keep together things that change for the same reason, and separate things that change for different reasons. Divergent change occurs when you group together things that change for different reasons. Shotgun surgery happens when you keep apart those things that change for the same reason. So, SRP is about both Divergent Change and Shotgun Surgery. Failure to follow SRP leads to both symptoms."

Has the avoidance of Shotgun Surgery taken a back seat?

Not at all. SRP is about enhancing the cohesion of things that change for the same reasons, and decreasing the coupling between things that change for different reasons.
