Yeah.  IIRC, in our first cycle using the CF process, we expected the
last CF to take longer than others.  I am not sure where the idea came
from that we'd be able to finish this one in a month.

I do accept the fact that we mustn't let it drag on indefinitely.
But two months instead of one isn't indefinite, and it seems more
realistic given the amount of work to be done.
