I strongly second this motion.  We have too many people out there who
are babbling about stuff they don't know anything about.  The ELF team
have come to some conclusions after long hard discussions, and still
have a monumental (I prefer to use this word in a more positive
context :) task ahead of them on trying to actually getting it to
work.  If they have to personally soothe whatever feathers that are
ruffled all over the place, they're never going to get done.  (And I
should add that the ports team has a great deal of interest in this,
as any delay in the ELF transition is going to mean that much less
time for us to work out our stuff before the release.)

As they say in Japan, "too many captains and the ship will climb up
the mountains".  (Ok that sounds differently when translated, but it's 
supposed to be a bad thing. :)
