I can see where you are coming from on this and do sympathise. If I were doing
the coding, I'd have difficulty in justifying spending the time needed to add
this extra level of complexity to the PT, when what we are seeing is a
_relatively_ short-term issue with getting the existing files BFCd. I would like
to think that once this is done the likelihood of primitives getting
re-submitted is very small. From an admin perspective, I certainly concentate on
getting the primitives certified first.
On balance I am pleased that we have tackled the BFCing of the whole parts
library, but this is one of the reasons for the current apparent PT backlog.
Without the PT I'm pretty sure such an effort would not have been managable.
Regarding 30375csd.dat specifically, I'd like to see some rational discussion on
whether this really is a _shortcut_ or a _model_.
