Hi everyone,

Brian, thanks for starting the discussion about CSP here!  We're not yet in
the position to make a final call on this, but let's use tomorrow's
security-oriented ArchCom-RFC IRC office hour[1] as an opportunity to
discuss this one further.

For the rest of y'all: my apologies for the short notice on the meeting
tomorrow.  The IRC meeting is in Phab as E198; more on that as my next
email.

Rob
