Enterprise is off today (21 June 2018)

Good morning, friends,

Enterprise is taking an editorial break today to give our various teams, who work at varying hours, a chance to meet to discuss all the stuff we have planned for the future — and how we can produce a better Enterprise for you today. We appreciate your patience, and we’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming on Sunday morning.
