We have the "Net Change" document, and it has been reviewed by both the
development and user teams (I particularly liked the fact that security was
finally fixed, as I've been writing and re-writing fixes for this for years).
 We have the CDs.  We followed my own protocols in contacting SSA first,
clients that those of us on the team know second, and finally BPCS-L.  SSA
could not provide us with a _SINGLE_ client contact that is live on V8.  None
of our extensive team could find anyone even working on V8.  So, we posted to
BPCS-L to no avail.  We do not have the time nor the resources to devote to
an unknown element.  This is a business, not a testing ground for unproven
products.
