I plan to keep on editing my version based on feedback. I suspect Curt is 
planning on doing the same.  I think the hope is that by having alternative 
code bases that work that they will a) naturally converge on a common set of 
ideas or b) contributors will weigh in on which codebase they find more 
appealing.  I don't view this as a competition but as simply a way of 
expressing our ideas rather than just writing stuff in Jira or on a Wiki.

The point is well taken that at some point we will have to make a decision. I 
just don't think we are close to that yet.
