@Nathann, Simon:

There is certainly a lot of misunderstandings between all of us. Both ways.
The discussion was started because of a suggestion, turned into a ticket
written by Nathann. Currently that ticket's description is in complete
contradiction to what you seem to describe on the mailing list (which seems
more sensible to me). In particular the title of the ticket is "Rename"
while the last line says "remove".

As long as this is the case, Nathann's arguments are incoherent and
contradictory, and any conversation on the list will turn in circles.

My summary assessment so far is that Nathann is wrong, the implementation
by findstat of their ideas is poor, and the burden is on all of us to
improve it, particularly those who care the most. That's the way sage
development works, as far as I understand it. Maybe I will be swayed by
good arguments from Nathann, who has opened the ticket. I am genuinely
keeping an open mind about implementation. I want him to improve what's
there, not remove, if he cares enough.
