Please do note that this week has US holidays in it and change owners
may be off away from computers taking time off. I don't think we should
be impatient on this... let them get a chance to respond rather than
everyone saying over and over they don't think it's ready and it's not
testable yet. 

Additionally, since it's a big change with a wide amount of workflows
and hardware and users expected, thats another reason to accept the
change for f34. It will then get testing up until the beta freeze... if
it's not ready then, it can be moved to f35 all the better for all the
testing it got in the early f34 cycle. 

So, IMHO, relax, wait for change owners to make things testable, then
test and file bugs and we can see where we are. There's too many
unknowns right at this minute.
