is an RFV really appropriate at this point? I mean,  I wouldn't veto,
but it seems like all of this is still up in the air until the
functionality is here for us to play with :) what we're really
agreeing with here is a requirements document for worklists, rather
than a guidelines change.

likewise, a worklist-centric CSG couldn't be RFV'd as it wouldn't
supersede the existing guidelines until such time as worklists were
here, right?
