I agree, I'd like to see whats on offer, and there was also a line about
releasing some documentation as well.

Im not going to travel too hard on the test suite, and will probably tie up
a linux build this weekend.

I expect that they'll release something way before I get finished, but
I feel it will be incomplete and the NIST thing will give us a fresh
perspective from an SQL compliance point of view, find some new bugs and
give some insight on running automated test suites in a variety of
environments.  So Im not going to completely stop either.

I presume we will at least run what they give us.

Cheers
