We talk about a lack of extensibility: our work today doesn't provide a foundation for the future. We talk about losing degrees of freedom: our work today precludes something we want to do in the future.

I'm not clear on what distinction is being made between these two types of critics? Is "loss of freedom" just a more extreme version of "lack of extensibility"? Or is something more specific being referenced in this statement?
