Fair enough.

I imagined as much.

Steven, you haven’t yet replied to my message asking if you’re prepared
to adopt the new catalog-based format in favor of your current
mechanism. I don’t want to wind up in a situation where we’re
(independently or together) attempting to manage the same tests in
parallel in different formats. Madness that way lies.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
