Hi Andy,

Thanks for the detailed response which well clarified the current status 
and how things might look like in the future. Sure, as you say, when RDS 
goes into mainline, there --is-- process and the process --is-- 
straightforward (where in the current settings of being under ofed, both 
hardly {actually neither really} exist), so I am with you on this 
message of lets get there and then see what works better.
 
Or.
