This is one more nail in the coffin pushing me back to RTL.  I'd rather have NO

understand your concerns, but this will blow over and communication with
LEGO will be much clearer and smoother when things settle down.  We may need
to take another look at the .lego.* layout of groups and optimize some
things.
