[SB] That does not contradict what I wrote, which is that not
necessarily all members of SV-BC support it. It is important to avoid
presenting it to SV-EC as though there is a consensus in SV-BC to return
the requirement. There may or may not be.

The issue was discussed in SV-EC on September 29, 2003. The minutes can
be found in
http://www.eda.org/sv-ec/Minutes/SV-EC-Minutes-2003-September-29.txt .
According to the minutes, attending that meeting were such SV-BC
worthies as Brad Pierce, Dave Rich, and Don Mills, none of whom seems to
have voted against the change.
