I agree.  I'm concerned that when the focus is on "fast-track", such
that someone is trying to trim a few weeks off a many-month process,
this could be even less likely.  But this is speculation; I have no
data.

I don't think they are either, and I absolutely agree that we should
do more parallel processing and not put serial process in the way of
document handling.  That's never been at issue for me.
