Hi, Andrew!

Thanks!  That helps a lot!

I'm not asking you to change anything, but FYI, when you say, "When the
APS Accelerator eventually stops using the 3.14 series that too will
probably be closed," I have no idea when that is likely to happen.  I'm
sure you have a sense of that, but I don't know if that means two years,
five years, or ten years.  Of course, you may not want to share that for
a number of reasons, and I would certainly understand.  I know that's
not the focus of what you're trying to say in that paragraph, either;
you're just trying to say that there's no guarantee of support for the
3.14 series (or any series), and I understand that.  However, I'm just
noting that if it ever became possible to share when an open series
would likely be closed, that would be useful information too.

Thanks again!
