Disturbing recommendation to remove cordon for the moment (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meantime

'for the moment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'disturbing recommendation to remove cordon' is the wordplay.
'disturbing' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'to remove' suggests deleting specific letters.
'recommendation' with 'cordon' taken away is 'emmeatin'.
'emmeatin' anagrammed gives 'MEANTIME'.

(Other definitions for meantime that I've seen before include "Intervening period" , "interim?" , "For the moment" , "interval" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
