Notes:

• Field Attributes PR:
  • Remove _FillValue
  • Only write missing_value if it is defined in registry
• Releasing tools:
  • Could release periodic_hex/quad whenever people want
  • Might want to put more thought into SCVT generation tools
  • Need to consider support burden, and concensus on high-level telecon / author list
• Should look into threading some of the framework to make it perform better
