PnP, like you I would welcome news about the 8th component but from my initial post:
"The issue and conclusion? I think we all want more information but OUR definition and expectation of 'material' is considerably different than those of Poet management."
If management doesn't see it as material then a NR won't happen. Let's remember, if the 8th component is qualified, there still remains another full qualification process applied to the fully assembled OI. That I see as the proverbial 4th terminal.
And so we wait
