Definitely something to put back on the list for the next engagement. I don't commute anymore, and really hope I never have to commute to reserve again. That was a really useful tool for a RES commuter, for whom every hour counts.
It is offset IMO for the first day with the 1000 earliest start-time (which would allow the 2 hour commute.) This is an improvement over the old 0500 earliest start time. For my previous commute, that would have been a huge improvement. However, I would like to see us get the 2 hour commute to SC back for any day even though it hopefully won't ever affect me again...
Btw, I think we were sitting right next to each other at the meeting - and hanging out in the hall for hours on end. Nice meeting you in person.
