So, but I guess, will this action severely hamper any future opportunity just because at this particular time there's no interest? I guess my hesitation is that if it's not a realistic project, then the plat note doesn't matter. But if there is a remote chance, given our demographic challenges, And God only knows what the future looks like. Having that in there could be future benefit that can't be measured right now. So I guess for you, does the plat note— I guess, is it inconsequential and it's just something that in the far-off distance future, if it's needed, it's there, but doesn't have immediate consequence to your development?
