As far as I can tell, it went normally through SL4. I got it.
It is harder to tell on gmail than other email systems what gets
through, my mistake.
With regards to how careful I am being with the system: one of the
central design guidances for the system is to assume the programs in
the hardware are selfish and may do things I don't want. The failure
mode I envisage more than exponential self-improvement is wireheading,
but the safeguards for making sure it can't wirehead also make sure it
is weak.
But as no-one seems interested in discussing this I shall not mention it again.
