Nope.

MPI_T semantics need, IIRC, some concrete answers from implementors (and other interested users):
* Can peruse-like events be collected in MPICH without terrible pain?
* If so, can MPICH and OMPI agree on common semantics that are implementable in both?
* Will reserving, e.g., the “MPI_T_*” namespace for events/pvars/cvars with common semantics specified in a side doc be unreasonably limiting?
* Are there things besides peruse that count as low-hanging fruit here?

QMPI needs, ultimately, the static/dynamic tool list decision (from MPI’s perspective). Everything else is IMO _mostly_ settled, but we really can’t write a reasonable chapter without knowing how much flexibility we’re requiring implementations to support.

Earlier in the day is better for me, but my afternoons/evenings (CEST) are pretty clear that week.

Nothing beyond the above.
