OK, let me explain something. I was reading the blogs from BartS and StephenH. Not at time when their arcticles were published, but later, when I had spare time. And I don't think the blog comments are the best place for the discussion. Did you see any "-100000" from me for the proposal? Actually I'm very happy they came with it in wild. And I hope they will publish their analysis of the actual popular implementations (like in version control system race was done). It has big +1 from me, if it needs to be declared. If they didn't expect the discussion, something is wrong. Best regards, Milan
