Which I suspect is a big contributor to the quietude. I can't speak for any
of the other participants, but all of our warm bodies have either been
writing, checking or deploying code like mad for the last 30 days. All of
our technically oriented public interactions have suffered.

From our standpoint, it's preferable that the WG remain engaged in
deliberate work. We've seen enough work product come out of this group to
actually produce an application. Our challenge is to now make sure that the
application remains in sync with provreg output. Doing so will be much
easier if we are dealing with deliberate effort regardless of frequency or
velocity.

Concur.

We also look forward to the statements of context you've requested.
