Re: Review of draft SV-Verilog-AMS merged BNF

From past experience with donations to SV, I'd say the BNF is the last
thing you need to deal with. Getting anywhere with AMS integration
requires getting votes on the SV side to accept the extensions, which
requires demonstrating that doing the integration will solve problems
for the people involved.
