Ursack on again, off again

I read about the Ursack not making the approved list where bear resistant canisters are required for this coming season in the Sierra. I verified it myself. However, on the Ursack website they are still saying they are trying for approval on the older green Spectra TKO bags and new bags made with Spectra. They may know more in March. The new "green" bags will be more expensive too. They do note that the regular yellow Ursack bags are more small rodent proof than the green Spectra bags. I'm not so worried about the little guys as I am of bears getting my food, although the small critters have caused more damage to gear than any bear has. Yet.
I tried unsuccessfully last Fall to get a refund on my aluminum insert upgrade for my old TKO but the spokesperson who emailed me back had not heard yet about the bags not making the cut and wanted to know where I got my info. I told him of course. I will be asking again this Spring if my upgraded bag doesn't make the cut. Wanderer, are you out there?
