I would prefer if we could merge the ready-to-merge PRs (#94, #101) and get the other ones rebased on those.
With enough time before tomorrow’s meeting that we can still prepare slides.

Can the document authors please get the merging done quickly, so the submitters can rebase their PRs?
This is not the time to be shy — I know there are authors on the document that are invisible, but this will have to be done by the ones who have been doing the work.

(I apologise for forking #99 off #98; I hope I have explained why the tooling made this necessary.
I don’t know how “alive” #75 is; the actual PR would need rebasing after the selector work has progressed.)

So there really only is

— #97, which after rebasing is a single remaining change.  That needs discussion, because it is indicative of a fundamental problem we haven’t addressed yet.
— #99 (with most of the discussion in the thread on #98), which desperately needs to be split up into smaller PRs building on top of each other.

I can certainly make a slide or two on the remaining significant terminology issue.
(That doesn’t mean terminology is otherwise done, it’s just good enough that work can continue on technical content.)

Given the short time remaining, I’d prefer to do that in the form of slideware.
