I don't recall expressing this -- just that it's hard to assess my
company's readiness until we see the scenarios intended to be
tested. I was, however, skeptical of using the F2F for interop
testing due to site scheduling resource constraints (which you touch
on above), and pointed out that Internet-based testing could work
nearly as well and have no such dependencies.
