Yeah, but I'm not sure it would be efficient to pull the trigger on anything
like
this until we figure out how many months out the Go port is.
Which means it's time for a serious on-list conversation about what our next
major objective beyond wrapping up NTS is. Which in turn ties to questions
about what we think we can get funding for from Cisco and possibly other
patrons.
I'll start a thead about that soon.
(Maybe not as immediately as I normally would, though. I had surgery on
my right ankle last week and am in recovery. Able to work, but sleeping
more than usual.)
