I'm not sure if I get the discussion under the label CTABLES here: why
should "production jobs" replace CTABLES?

Or is it just that there are 3 open topics by now
1. CTABLES
2. Production jobs
3. Reading .spv files

and the discussion is on which to focus time and energy?

Anybody give me a hint, please.
