[SML] Fire Alarm Impairment

[Bill Conner]

FWIW, the development - changes - for next edition - 2025 - of NFPA 72 is
basically complete.  The next opportunity to submit a change will be in
first half of 2025 for the 2028 edition.  I put a reminder on my Google
calendar to submit this, BUT anyone can submit change proposal (called
"public input" for the "first draft" in NFPA speak). But you all can also
submit changes.

I'll try to post here when I do, assuming I'm still around.
