Bob, I do agree with you.  The way I read this white paper is they want to
eliminate the use on date codes when ordering a part.  They say nothing
about eliminating the date code.    Your take on this document is right on.

Please everyone, before there is mass hysteria, go back and reread the
paper. Nobody is proposing doing away with date codes! Just the practice of
ordering specific date codes unless there is a good reason for it.

 Subject: [TN] Proposed lifting of component date code restrictions

 IPC has become aware that the National Electronics Distributors
 Association (NEDA) has posted a white paper discussing the proposed
 lifting of date code restrictions and they have requested comments from
 end users as well as component suppliers and distributors. The paper can
 be viewed at http://www.nedassoc.org/whitedat.html.

 Comments can be provided to me on or off net; we'll compile them and
 forward to NEDA. If you comment to NEDA directly [log in to unmask], please
