I started to contribute, but failed and left. I don't remember
the details, but I think it was something like this: When one
grammatical rule covers the inflected forms of many words,
and a handful of them need an exception to that rule, Per
had a tendency to rewrite the rule for those few words
without considering the many others. It was too easy to
modify the rule and no regression tests for the other words
or phrases that used that rule. It seemed impossible to me
to guarantee any quality or correctness.
