Actually, I don't think that there's any value to that information, anyway.

Having dealt with a large number of very large companies, I feel fairly secure in saying that with only rare exceptions, a large company's "long-term vision" lasts about three financial quarters. As soon as there is a downturn in business, an upturn in business, a change in management, or simply executive leadership that only feels it adds value when it is creating a 'bold new direction', vision statements are changed.

This is also why the mutable nature of the GSL should give people a great deal of concern.
