From my limited point of view, it seemed a bit expansive but not as bad as some of the alternatives. I share Andrew’s concerns, however, so if the Rys and Rrs don’t see this expanding the scope of the picket fence it would be hard for others to object. They are the most directly affected party and any objections are not going to go anywhere without their support anyway.
