@ekluzek What's the status of this? Is any of it ready to come in / can any of it be split out into different PRs?

[ekluzek]

@samsrabin this is my next tag to bring in. We created this branch a long time ago because we thought that the PR's on it would flood b4b-dev too much. But, it turned out the work on it was spread out long enough that that wouldn't have been an issue. At least for this second go around. With b4b-dev we have a clock that ensures changes come in regularly, but we didn't have a process to that here. So it didn't happen. I think that means that in the future we should either slide these things as individual tags to master, or bring them to b4b-dev. Or think about the process that should be in place for a temporary branch like this....

It was brought into this branch as separate PR's similarly to b4b-dev and the first go around with this work. So you can view the contributions singly with those PR's already.

With your ask -- I thought about rebasing the PR's that went into this onto b4b-dev. But at this point I think that would only serve to create more work and slow the work down. So I won't do that now, but this can serve as something to think about as lessons for the future. I'll add this to the Thursday discussion.

These tests fail on setup because they are using fire-emis with SP cases. So I'll reconfigure these tests to make sure the testmods used include nofireemis.
