The PS is one (massive) tree in the forest. What we're doing it here is discussing it a lot more than any other, because Jerry and/or someone on the MEC wanted to pre-empt whatever discussions are/will be taking place on this topic. The reps have not yet given direction, so it stands to reason that whatever has been said has been preliminary, and I would also assume that many other items have come up for discussion. The reps I spoke with were pretty conversant on the PS, and a range of other issues, as well they should be. The idea that some guys see opportunities WRT the PS is not far-fetched, so Jerry is not completely off-base, IMO. At the same time, I think they see opportunities everywhere. It's just that Jerry's elected to make the conversation exclusively about the PS, because he has a specific idea about it (wants it taken completely off the table).

I happen to agree with placing this as a very high priority, but I would note that an interesting consequence of trying to argue that the PS is sacred, is to actually bring novel arguments on why it might not be so sacred.
