Hi,
	I agree with Werner completely. Some people said that the two
options were mutually exclusive, others (like myself) said they were
compatible. Whether we were right or wrong is not important. What is
important is that different people perceived in different ways, meaning that
it wasn't all together clear.
	I'd like to know if everyone would be happy about the idea of adding
a few right now, and looking at what that does INDEPENDENTLY of what/if/when
we add later. Maybe some sort of question could be asked in that direction.
Seeing from the answers that were given, there were a very small minority
that seemed to say outright NO, but I'd like to confirm that. If most seem
to agree with putting things in, regardless of the thought of how the long
term scenario should be and all agree that it's safe to start with just a few
and see how that goes, then maybe we can get consensus on the short term
scenario, and then take it from there. Suggestions?

Yours, John Broomfield.
