RE: [vhdl-200x] Volunteers for Chairing 1076.4 (VITAL) or 1076.6 (RTL Synthesis)

The "Timing Working Group" (TWG) created the VITAL (VHDL Initiative Towards Asic Libraries) in response to the choppy and uneven nature used to express gate-level designs in VHDL.  It seemed everyone had their own way to do it.  That standard, 1076.4, has remained a separate document from the main 1076 standard.  

With that information, and do that extent, I wondered if it was time to join them into one.

When did VHDL not include gate level elements?
