I was planning to seriously propose that the RECALL arrangement be
abandoned in that it is complex to define and very likely to never be
needed.  Somewhere recently I saw "Don't write rules for cases that
very rarely happen"... or something like that.  This is one of those.

But, if we can leave it as discussed in ...

where is hard to instantiate, and timed so as to take the better part
of a year to complete, I so no harm in keeping it.

But, we should also not spend a lot more time defining it either.

If we cannot quickly stabilize on the scheme, we should junk it.

Beyond this observation, I find that the entire POISED outcome has met
all my objectives and requirements.

I expect some tuning to continue for a while.
