I was referring to the fact that hybrids were not RECOMMENDED=Y until much
later and only after a number of revisions and real efforts including, what
some may consider personal and professional risk, mainly from research
driven proof from philanthropic members of this list and dissemination and
egress of discussions happening, outward! I really appreciate Dr.
Bernstein, Dr. Kobeissi, Mr. Sardar, Mr. Westerbaan, Mr. Salz and everyone
else who helped get this right.

And separately, you're right; the process is working, but it should still
be refactored to include research, safety and efficiency.
