Thanks for the information, Dan.  Isn't this whole stuff fascinating?
Things are moving at breakneck speeds, for sure.  Even so, it will take
some significant time (I'm afraid) before this new spec becomes official.
And then, it will take some more significant time before it becomes
pervasive.  Meanwhile, count your TCBs and treat them economically!
 
Cordially,
