I've just sent my estimates to Stephen, but I'm afraid I really don't
remember (or even understand perhaps) the consensus on the biweekly
call discussion on the effectiveness of the estimates.  So, please let
me ask a stupid question: what's the purpose of these estimates?  We
still don't seem to use them for planning (at least we didn't use them
for the most recent planning session).  Are the estimates now just for
records?  Or do we have a plan to (retry to) use them for planning as
well?  If so, how?
