Chris,

As I understand it, some projects are planning to use Beryllium.  Do we
know if the blockers effect both Beryllium and Boron, or is it just Boron?
If it's just Boron, then the projects that depend on Beryllium could
release at Colorado 1.0, while the projects that depend on Boron could
release at Colorado 2.0 or 3.0.

In fact, I heard from Greg Elkinbard, yesterday, who said that scenarios
running on Fuel will be transitioning to Boron for Colorado 2.0.
