Norm:

This isn't productive. What needs to happen is for us to get the Coyotos
spec captured so that we all know what we are reacting to and
discussing. Answering questions piecemeal just increases the load on
everyone.

As I said in mail earlier today, we do not plan to do orthogonal
persistence in Coyotos.
