I'm trying to point out ways for improvement Karsten.
I dont' see it as waiting for mom to fix anything.
 Though if you *are* the only RH input, and you don't have site access,
why are we here?
  Waiting for Tammy's child to leave home?

My bad. I'd not read it|taken it in| seen bugfixes on the horizon... 
  Though how the heck can we fix 'em if we can't commit?
  More catch 22? / Join the queue?

Who's 'we' if not RH? => some manner of project lead to make that
decision? Or is this just another rh catch 22?
