Set-theoretic Issues
In general, given a category C and some class w of morphisms in the category, there is some question as to whether it is possible to form a localization w-1 C by inverting all the morphisms in w. The typical procedure for constructing the localization might result in a pair of objects with a proper class of morphisms between them. Avoiding such set-theoretic issues is one of the initial reasons for the development of the theory of model categories.

Famous quotes containing the word issues:
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
