Given that several voices suggested that sieve extensions are 
promising and could meet OPES needs, we should consider again whether 
this is the case or not. This will take additional time, but seems 
important.

I suggest that anyone with an opinion on this topic posts to the list 
either (a) an example of what can *not* easily be done with sieve 
extensions, or (b) describes how sieve extensions would be used to 
meet OPES needs.
