You are absolutely right, we have been stalled on EVM/IMA/SLIM, while
trying
to figure out the mtime and revocation issues. In retrospect we tried to
submit
too much complex code all at once.

We will resubmit in small functional pieces as the technical issues have
been
resolved, starting with the LIM API and hooks, which are independent of
the
mtime and revocation issues.
