Yeah, FWIW, I haven't been able to get clear guidance on what I can/cannot publicly announce we've done in this space. But since you've found it I guess I can say sorry that I couldn't announce it more loudly! :)

A number of our other issues should be able to be closed soon once the changes get out in the open.
