Perhaps this is a metric-readiness strategy we're seeing here. All the more reason to push for approval of voluntary metric-only labelling. At that point I would bet everyone who's already "gone metric" in this way will drop the US Customary units and that will create momentum for all other manufacturers to do likewise.
I'm wondering who on the list is able to attend the NIST meeting in November on voluntary metric-only labelling? It would be nice to get some feedback afterwards.
