If we follow this timeline, in the light of Alex's statement that we've
not offered Fortran 90 on SGI until now, we have a three month period
when we offer Fortran that ends with everyone having to recompile apps
developed on O2's.

If it would not be inordinately disruptive to our efforts, I'd rather go
live with Fortran version 7.2 on BOTH platforms from the get go.
