Harald,

Is it our plan to eventually cover all the packages with CI? Is that
even possible with the resources -- both human and machine -- that we
have? And is it important.

The work you have done so far IS important, in my opinion. Thank you a
thousand times. It has cost pain and suffering along with time and
cycles though. So I guess I'm asking for you to look into your crystal
ball.
