Hey Esteban - understood. So it sounds like - quickly walk through all your 
project packages - add a little comment "upgrade to new tonel formt" and then 
commit (with everyone checked in before) sounds like the way to go.

I'll get on that with projects that I work with.

It does of course imply everyone move up to P12 (from P11) to avoid flip 
flopping between formats - and I don't think there is any reason to stick to 
P11 as P12 seems solid and without anything controversial to hold back on.

Thanks for pushing things forward.

Tim
