Yes, there is my opposition.

As we all know, the only way of achieving thigs swith some delay on the
schedule is have unrealistic chsedules... 

I mean that it is too soon to change that schedule. WG C should spend less
time and energy disucssing timelines. It Ocotober 14th arrives and no final
report is there, then, and only then, we will change the schedule. It might
well happen that the report is not there. But if we accept from this moemnt to
delay it, it will NEVER be ready.
