Yes and no. As I told you earlier, I think your diffs contain some very good work and are required for further improvements and progress. The question is how to get them integrated. Further isolated work is probably the wrong way. You should try to get things (in small pieces) into the tree, though likely to late in current cycle. > I'm aware that the diff isn't small, but anything smaller would make > some of the remaining parts void and possibly blur the concept. It depends, for example you can commit the new file additions separately without hooking them, giving people a chance to view and play with them in tree. > ... > > There is a second point concerning compat mode that I would like to > change: it could be made useful.

I tend to agree that this is probably the right direction.
