Hi Michael,
as I just emailed, my brain is addled at the moment so I did not
represent an accurate senario involving NEW. There are 2 cases: a
brand new packages and any subsequent upload to NEW. I expect the brand
new package to get a through inspection, but once it would be 'tag'ed,
it should not need a re-examination until the 'tag' value was different
from previous uploads to NEW.
Cheers,
Kev
