In Tim's defense: I had indeed not looked at the code at all, and what
I wrote was incorrect, so what he wrote was completely true. I also
mentioned that my understanding of the variant conversion system was
limited, and that I might be completely wrong. Turns out I was, and
Tim corrected me. It's true that he probably didn't use the most
friendly tone in the world, but I've seen much worse, so I don't
really care. Let's just drop this before it turns into a flame war;
I'd like to keep those off wikitech-l.

Seems I'm not the only one who had a completely wrong idea about how
variants work. We definitely need more documentation and fame for this
system, so its potential doesn't go to waste.
