   Okay.  I will now close this ticket.  For more granular tracking, I
   recommend that a separate RT be opened for each existing PDD which needs
   updating.

   Thank you very much.

OK, I've finished the writeup for one or more new tickets; please advise
on whether this is on target, and how to file it.  My personal
recommendation is for a single design/documentation ticket, the
satisfaction of which will generate a number of implementation tickets.

   FWIW, the issue seems much less scary for having written it up.  It
probably also helps that I've let go of the notion that we can ever
remove all continuation barriers; it's a big job, and I still can't
think of a compelling use case for needing to do so.
