Matt, Due to “other tasks” I personally haven’t been able yet to follow everything that’s going on, nor had I have a chance to look at the POC you and Puspendu have created, so I think global update of the page would be too early at the moment as it doesn’t really capture all of the concerns and there are certainly quite a few vey common concerns that need to be addressed outside of what I was able to extract from recent interaction. I will do my best to go through all the comments by the end of next week.
