If such a feature is important, then you do have a point.  However, =

implementing _anything_ by introducing an arbitrary delay is simply =

wrong.  I believe they teach the reasons for that in Operating Systems =

101.  You are introducing a race condition that will break things at the =

most inopportune time.

If we really require multi-recipient SMS to go on the same RRC channel, =

then the best way to do so would be to introduce a new API specifically =

for this use case.

Regards,
-Denis
