[step-manufacturing] AP238 done and in signoffs

[David Loffredo]

All,

As promised in Toulouse, I have finished editing the remaining AP238 
EXPRESS-G and examples and have submitted the document package for its 
final publication signoffs.

Some say that attention is the most valuable coin in the information 
age, and I deeply appreciate all of the attention that each of you have 
invested in this over the past seven years.  It made the standard far 
better and stronger than it would have ever otherwise been.

My sincere thanks to each of you.
