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:
“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
