AW: Sharp-S and Final Sigma Consensus Call Results

["Martin J. Dürst"]

Hello John, others,

I agree with half of Shawn, namely that this should be a MUST NOT.

The reason is that there have been many people on this list that say 
that this is a really bad idea, but on the other hand, there have been
serious proposals (read TRs) to just do that.

Regards,    Martin.
