RE: [sv-bc] Opinion on merging of P1364 and P1800

I believe on this question we should pay more attention to the wishes of
the users.
 
The users rely on the committee to decide the specific details of class
equivalence and separate compilation units and other important
esoterica.
 
However, for the question of ease of use of a single manual, versus the
overlapping standards we have now, it is my estimation that the
committee can not easily have the correct perspective.
 
The committee would naturally see this as lots of effort, but one which
adds no new constructs and the like; and hence be disinclined to take on
the task. (Little creation value!)
 
The user would see this as finally the production of an accessable
standards document.
 
This is of course my perspective; putting myself alternatively in the
shoes of each party.
 
I suggest the committee find some way of polling the users on this
matter.

	Hi, all, 

	In the P1800 meeting last week, the Working Group asked for each
of the SV-* committees to provide an opinion on whether or not to merge
the P1364 and the P1800 LRMs into one LRM.  They are interested in your
opinions on:

	1)  How much time will it take us to merge the relevant parts of
the LRM 
	2)  When you recommend merging the LRM (now, toward the end of
the current 2 year revision cycle, next LRM, never)... 
	3)  Any other questions or comments that the committees
recommend the study group consider in their decision to develop the next
PAR.

	Committee chairs, I would appreciate it if you would develop a
response reflective of your committee's opinion and forward it to me
after your next committee meeting, preferably no later than the 15th of
February.

	Thank you, 

	Karen Pieper
