we need to do that pretty much immediately, right now.  this is
already on the critical path.

we need to not be waiting around for other people to upstream things.
"upstream" is not under a tape-out deadline pressure.  if however the
people involved in upstream come onboard and are happy to receive
donations, that's great.

if not: we need to move immediately, and in no way make our time
schedule critically dependent on their non-critical timeframe.

next week's far too late.  if you're thinking in terms of "i'll get to
it next week" we are absolutely guaranteed to miss the october
deadline.

excellent.

again: don't make "perfect the enemy of good".  commit the hand-drawn
diagrams, let's start the discussion immediately rather than introduce
unnecessary time-consuming tasks.
