Well, all of that combines makes it very hard for us to review the list.

Just general safety w.r.t. unchangeable DT definitions: anything that is
not listed here cannot be declared wrong later.

You're 100% sure they're the same?

So the internal spreadsheet doesn't match the public documentation neither?

OK, fair enough.
