I'm not sure what you're proposing here - was that a typo from 2018 to
2019? Or are you really planning a year out? :)

If you really meant 2019, then I think it's unwise to start planning those
sorts of changes so far ahead, given the unfortunate tendency to forget to
continually update and ensure semantic consistency with any other changes
the Forum may have made in the interim.

Did you mean to include 3.2.2.4.1 if including 3.2.2.4.5? Otherwise, these
are both August 2018 - not Spring 2018 (which supports the Spring 2019
theory). If you're going 2019, then you'd also need to be touching 4.2.1 -
for consistency.

So, that's a Spring 2018 thing (specifically, May 2018). And if you're
cleaning up for 2018, it's not clear if you were intending to touch the
following paragraph (regarding September 2017) or not.

If you're going a Spring 2018 route, then you'd want to be touching 6.3.2,
3.2.2.8, 7.1.3, 7.1, 7.1.4.2.1, 3.2.2.6, 4.9.10, 6.1.5, 8 (the implementors
note), and the definition of "Effective Date"
