The week is up, and restraints on posting to this topic have been relaxed :-) Restraints were imposed, not because it had become a tedious ping-pong match with each trying to have the last word, but because it had degenerated into name-calling. Implying that your opponent is "a liar", "a pestilence" or "brain dead" precludes dispassionate argument on an important subject. (The latest name was "Siberian Troll", which may have been an attempt at humour :-)
If people feel they have missed something, there are another couple of dozen exchanges on the SDPD list under the heading "The future of SDPD". In the end, both parties agreed that they "never said the more restraints the better". The most interesting new contribution was to point out that when restraints are used in Shel-X, a final cycle without restraints and damping is recommended to obtain better estimates of ESD's. Unfortunately people are unlikely to do that if it gives "unreasonably" large ESD's.
