There's another problem: RS has not enough manpower. They don't like to admit it, but you can read it between lines that they're understaffed. Many years ago Geoff actually offered me to work for RS. While I felt honored it also became clear quite quickly that they could not afford my price at that time (it was in the early 2000s when I could make $120k net). And it's also not easy to find good programmers. And then they might have to relocate to ... Austin! So, lobbying doesn't help much if we can't offer a better perspective. I will actually try to offer my help temporarily to RS at a rate that's below my standards (some of you might remember my joke about the compiler improvement feature request), and perhaps that'll have some productive outcome. I hope to find out next week. Another way might be to convince RS to shift their priorities. E.g, it appears that, like most companies, RS thinks that they can only sell new versions of they offer "new, great" features. But perhaps they'll make a much better sale if they only improve code speed and size in one version? Who knows? I don't know how to assess this, but if someone has an idea... And, Michael, please remember not to quote entire mails all the time. We're all reading these mails, and those on digest really hate all those same long quotes reappear all the time.
