If history means anything, "end of the year" means more like March 2017.
That's a long wait with zero assurance that anything will change.  The
point of a time limit is to provoke a response, even if it's "We can't
think about it now."

"The exception proves the rule."  Dimbulbs think: "Your counterexample proves
my theory."  Latin students think "'Probat' means 'tests': the exception puts
the rule to the proof."  But legal historians know it means "Evidence for an
exception is evidence of the existence of a rule in cases not excepted from."
