Are you saying you expect our status reports to be accurate, Bil? ;-)
Yeah, it shoulda been on the goals list. As a subsequent email indicated,
we'd like to change the queue names to something a tad more meaningful -
and I do mean a tad. We're hoping DC for Data Center is more useful
to folks than EP. Since we've solved the simplex in and duplex out
issue, we should be able to add DC1 & DC12 queues as soon as folks
say okay to the new names.
-Dave
ps. I sometimes hedge on including goal items - trying to minimize too
many carryovers in subsequent reports. However, for the EP60/62 item
it was just bad memory... :(
