Ok, this is taking up too much of my time. This was a straight forward
proposal, that saw no justified technical objections. If I have to argue
till I'm out of breath on the whim of anyone who sends an objection, then
this proposal can sit and die.
This reminds me why I never get involved in policy. Too much politics to
let progress through. I'll just go back to developing, if policy decides
I'm no longer important...I'll still keep developing.
