I agree that this does not seem to have much of an input to what we should
be concentrating on. Conversely, I appreciate every additional eyeball on
our packages and have some confidence that Ben will have his personal
eye opener on where can help more effectively.

Your pointer to the UDD was already very helpful. Combine that with Ben
editing lots of d/u/metadata files and we are almost there.
