Hi Chris, I'm a bit perplexed at where the Vec*ul classes fit into the wider OSG, as they seem very specific to small set of application types. You say you've used only Vec2ul yourself but never tested Vec3ul and Vec4ul. This shouts out to me just having code because we think it's nice to have rather than having it address a real need - this hardly fits the minimal and complete approach to coding that keeps one focus on code that addresses real problems without getting bloated.
Where are going with the submission of Vec*ul? Is there something from loaders or other features that actually need them to function. I'm trying to find out whether there is an actual need for these classes in the core OSG, if it's just something useful to a small set of users then it should probably be part of external add on rather than the core OSG.
