Hi Anisse,

As far as the tests we're discussing are concerned, the Opus bit-stream has 
been frozen for about two months now.

I don't see how making the code/specification cleaner will affect testing, 
so I think this can be done in parallel. We can't hold off for every 
conceivable possibility, but at this point we don't expect that Opus will 
require any quality-impacting changes.

Cheers,
