As I say, we are working on it. You should not interpret the obvious lack of progress on this to date as an indication that people don't think it's important (well, you can interpret things any way you want, but hopefully you understand what I mean).

	i have empathy for the very difficult situation you are in - however
	this transition shows how hamstrung the operational community is when
	it is held hostage to political/burocratic posturing.  lack of constructive
	dialog has been a hallmark of this transition.  so we have a situation where
	the operational community is placed in a reactive stance - wondering just what
	the heck is going to get tossed over the wall and when.  we will cope and
	things will continue to mostly work ... but credibility and trust suffer.

	this is no way to run a railroad.

	imho of course and best of luck
