Hi Sidney

What you write is at odds with the LSST's own press release:

NEW CORPORATION ORGANIZED TO DEVELOP AMBITIOUS SURVEY TELESCOPE
(Media contacts listed below)
April 24, 2003

RELEASE: LSSTC-01

"The LSST will use an 8-meter primary mirror and a two billion-pixel
digital camera to scan the complete visible night sky every week to a
deep magnitude."

as well as with the entire content of www.lsst.org, all of which is
predicated on the DMT monolithic design.  What's a person to think?

If the design is truly not known, that should be reflected
explicitly by the project in its public utterances.  

Dave
