I haven't said that. You should also consider opening a thread on sage-devel or ask.sagemath besides emailing the author (who you can trivially look up with git blame). Just because somebody was cc'd on some old ticket doesn't mean that he still remembers what went down, or is the one who is currently working on that part of Sage. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
