I previously looked at Statistics when increasing the test coverage and found nothing incorrect. It requires a more thorough review of all the distributions to be sure. IIUC it was ported from CM so there should not be anything wrong with the distributions given that they have been in CM for a long time. Matt should comment on the state of Geometry. > [1] This will unfortunately not fix the (design and maintenance) issues > exposed along the years. Do you propose to release v4 to get a release out with all recent bug fixes and then work on v5 to resolve major design issues? Or can the design issues be isolated to packages and thus v4 would not include packages that require a major redesign? For example I recall there are issues with math3.stat.descriptive.moment but the attempt to move these to Statistics in GSOC 2019 was not completed. So for example could the entire stat package not be released in v4 and new code would be targeted to Statistics? Alex
