It appears that the DM process could be completed in fewer steps. That could allow someone to `dcut dm -uid mshuler --allow ifmetric`, for instance, which is currently waiting on a sponsor from either the previous uploader or someone on d-mentors (requested, but haven't heard back yet). In the mean time, I can work through the next DD stage once an AM has been assigned. I've been contributing longer than the DM process has existed, so personally, I don't have a strong feeling either way: do DM first, or go on with DD, uploading. I appreciate the reply, Gunnar. If you or anyone else has advice on going ahead and doing both processes in parallel or dropping one, I'll take it. :) -- Warm regards, Michael
