Hello folks,

Most of the issues have been resolved. Some are suggested to be resolved "like DLEP". Other than that, only issue #34 needs more explanation, and I have something written up for that. For some of these issues, the additional text has been put in the issue
tracker.

Here's what I would like to put on the mailing list. Please help and let me know if
you have suggestions for improvement/persuasion/other comments.  It would be
nice to put it out before tomorrow's meeting...
