I'm not so sure: I think that most decisions that need to be made are
quite subsystem specific. Trying to figure out how to implement DT for
multiple subsystems in one workshop seems unlikely to succeed, simply
because of lack of time. I also don't think there is much overlap between
subsystems in this respect, so while the DT implementation for one subsystem
is discussed, the representatives of other subsystems are twiddling their
thumbs.

It might be more productive to have one or two DT experts around who
rotate over the various workshops that have to deal with the DT and can
offer advice.
