  I agree with you.  Hence some of my comments with respect to
spicific parts to this perposal.  I thought that CORE was to
make the selections.  However I even have a problem with this
as well.  In addition I do not agree with the restriction on
number (20 to 30).  I think this could be expanded to over
a thousand, without too much exposier to big problems.  I
do agree that scaling should be done, but not at a snails
pace.
