Hey Enrico,

I assume that you have by now read our discussion about your ideas
here on this list. Could you please comment on them, and decide if you
would like to make an official SoC proposal?

While there still is bit time left until the deadline, it would be
better to discuss this earlier, so that we could reach a conclusion
about this without hurrying.


Thanks, Mark.
