While we should not give the impression that we will start from scratch after some
predetermined experation date, we need to recognize the need for flexibility and
recognize that
we have *no* real data at this point.  I am willing to believe that we could learn
something
in the initial phase of development that would prompt changes in the next phase.

The first roll out will set the pattern, but it doesn't have to stay this way
forever.
