I agree, our CR *feels* very successful.

That makes sense.

Could this meeting be empowered to approve and reject tests?

I am heartened by seeing only a handful of totally unpassed tests, (I guess
the tests already in the extracredit section are excluded) ... I've not done
the analysis - I guess there are places where our implementations are weak -
I would sure like to see Racer results, since I am hoping that at least some
of the unpassed tests are covered by them.

give me a day or two to hear from HP colleagues ... "against" seems
unlikely.
