8 Except that if we had just implemented one of other proposals a year ago
9 we probably would be done waiting now, while refusal to accept anything
10 other than EAPI-in-filename might have you waiting for this ten years

13 Sure, you might disagree with this, but that doesn't change the fact
14 that we are at an impasse and I see no sign of this changing anytime
15 soon - the last council clearly wasn't a big fan of GLEP 55 as it
16 stands, and the current council seems to be going in the same direction.
17 I guess you can always wait for the next council election and see
18 what 2010 brings. However, I hope you're not going to do that to "speed
19 things up!"
