Dear Jonathan,
for me, it is mainly important to see that the ticket is on track and
will be included in the next CF-document. I couldn't see that in the
ticket and it even got a 'low'-priority status, so I started to get
worried it might get rejected.
I like to have stable versions to remain stable - this is not possible
when we declare a non-existing document for stable. People are free to
put whatever they want into their files (and the ocean_s_coordinate_g?
have been there for at least 5 years, even without being accepted by
CF), so I don't see any need to rush.
Best wishes,
Heiko
