Myself and a few others are hesitating here. Roberto and Johnny have
both suggested that they believe the reference set _is_ helpful, and I
believe Johnny is collecting data to prove the point. I'd like to be
forward-looking where we can, so I'm inclined to want to wait a week
or so to see what data Johnny can collect.

Is that problematic from the perspective of our timetable?
