One thing I'd like to point out:

Options 2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive with option 1.

We can adopt option 1 and continue discussing modification to requests
currently in the queue. If those discussions prove fruitless, adopting
option 1 will still leave us with a solution 3 years out.

We can adopt option 1 and continue discussing elimination of the
waitlist. Even if we do not find a better alternative to the waitlist,
it will at least become more functional in 3 years time.

Only option 4 conflicts with option 1, leaving us with zero progress
on the problem that the waitlist is just too darn long.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
