I have a prototype of the new DDU with silent mode which I used to
test. I built a live CD image to try it out.

Yes. The DDU team is done with development and is tweeking it now per
unit testing done. Testing of the DDU itself (done by their test team)
will be under way within a few weeks.

OK. Seems to be the general consensus, including my own opinion.
Thanks again,
