I don't know much details, and haven't heard a direct statement on this from Marcus for ages. I'm pretty sure Richard's information is more correct than anything I could write. All I can say is what I told you already several months ago: That Marcus seems to have become more "conservative" again. My impression is that he no longer wants to rewrite everything to create a perfect system, but rather focuses on the areas that most need improvement, and otherwise tries to keep as much as possible. -antrik-
