Hey Ziyuan, that's great! Have you made a statistical analysis whether the average revision that remained unchallanged by a long time is better than the average other revisions? It would seem to me (as it seems to Tom), that often that's a false presumption, though that's probably based on guesses and anecdotal experience. Regards, Tobias
