Since there are two core outlets, two EWP's, and two inlets to the engine, it's mighty tempting to let each  
EWP handle only one core.   
Hmmm. I dunno, Rusty. My intuition (which may or may not be useful) is that you'd be better designing for normal operation in the event of a pump failure. Sort of follows the Nuckolls philosophy of no one component getting in the way of finishing you're flight in comfort. Of course, the disadvantage, is that if they're plumbed together and you get a leak, you'll loose all you're coolant.  I guess it depends on how "operational" you'd be on one core and one pump.

No that's this list. What a short memory you have!
