You asserted an unproveable negative (no one else would
be impacted by reuse of the field for a particular
purpose).  Jeff asserted a provable positive (he has
state evidence of at least two uses for the fields).

Unless you can show that that no one else is using
the fields (again, unprovable, and asserted to be
false), from my point of view Jeff's position has
far more weight and should carry the day.

Yes, that makes the process more complicated.  That
is life of a collaborative (vs. a dictorial)
environment.  The flexibility to arbitrary move
forward as you request requires moving to dictatorship.
Who would you wish to nominate as the dictator?
