Here is an exchange that happened privately. Imo, it should be public: EKR:

Everything happens in "vnode space": > Terry: > It's not really about the code / performance outcome, but about not > respecting Vitalije's clearly stated desire to have his ideas considered > in a relative complete state. > Vitalije's ideas, so far as they relate to speed issues, have already been: a) considered and fully accepted. b) acknowledged as brilliant work. c) put into Leo's code base (the fast-read) branch. d) separated from other, more speculative ideas, such as new positions. Point d is important. No amount of speed-related work can address the difficulties of new positions. That's just the way it is. New positions may work. Or not. *I don't have a strong opinion about them*. But in order to work new positions must be: 1. Compatible with Leo's existing code base and 2. Worth doing for reasons not yet made clear to me. I am willing a long time for a convincing prototype of new positions. *Summary* I see no reason to delay considering brilliant ideas and code ;-) Otoh, I intend to make no judgement at all about more speculative ideas. I don't believe I have disparaged any aspect of Vitalije's work. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
