I am beginning to feel that something basic is missing from Leo. As
Ville recently said, it's too hard to share data, especially .leo
files.  Sentinels are not the issue: we would still have the problem
even if no one were bothered by sentinels.

This problem can not be solved by adding "ordinary" features. And
deleting clones is also not a solution :-)

This is a good time to confront this issue. The relevant parts of
Leo's internals are "perfect": we have the simplest possible internal
data model (the one-node world), and the simplest possible sentinels.
So it's clear that "ordinary" optimizations will not suffice either.

My unease increased after adding the "Recovered Nodes" feature.  They
shows how often Leo's load process is not as expected.

I don't have a clear idea of the way forward.  Something more is
needed, but I couldn't say what.  I suspect that new ideas will
involve re-imagining how Leo interacts with the larger world.

I'll be adding to this thread from time to time.  I encourage any and
all ideas.

Edward
