If there are still specific issues that I have yet to clarify, could they be stated so that they can be addressed?  Frankly, there are other packages I'm considering proposing, but I've been holding them back to see if this is ever going to move forward or not.  It would be nice to get a conclusion to this soon, if possible.  Thanks!
