Hi Mike,

Thanks, largely implemented.  A few follow-ups:

We *did* pick the few items that we think are most concerning, 
Basically the ones where we haven't built a demonstrator ourselves yet. 
We don't want to list one item per system, that wouldn't make sense.

Plan B is always a schedule slip.  I should add that.

It is.

Best,
