First: I agree with the sentiments entirely. Second: Why not start shouting now, with a HEADSUP storm converging on Jan 6 to get people off their butts? I started my aout-to-elf process on the three work systems I maintain for orthogonal reasons, but it has still taken a couple of weeks (as a background process) to move three operational systems providing important (but not mission critical) services more or less transparently to elf. Including sorting through the aout-vs-elf bugs which are the start of this thread. It's another danes with axes kinda problem, and communication helps. Ignore the whiners who would rather type than switch.
