Would it be interetsing to (for at least 5 minutes) explore the idea of 
a test-driven schedule, rather than a calendar-driven one?

That is, specify a number of criteria that should be met before 
standards-track, and see if we can work backwards:

tests that need to be done -> people volunteering for the work -> 
reasonable schedule?
