I'd have liked to, but unfortunately, I haven't had the time to do so (and I probably won't in the near future). However, it looks like there's a general feeling emerging that snipping certain sections would be enough. I'd agree with that - my personal feeling is that it'd be OK to remove all of the following sections:

I'd be OK with them going into an additional PEP, but to be honest, it wouldn't bother me to see them left out of the PEP process altogether[1]. (I don't feel that I have enough experience with using GFs to comment meaningfully, so I'd be willing to defer to Phillip's judgement here).
