Understood.

I hate to leave a topic backburnered for too long.  As this topic
unfortunately has not seen enough attention by reviewers, between
two easy approach available to me to deal with such a topic, namely,
merging it to 'next' and discarding it (with invitation to resubmit
once the author can spend enough time on the topic again), I'd
probably choose the latter.

Unless somebody else steps up and promises to usher the topic
forward in its current shape, that is.

Thanks.
