The timetable is a useful guideline. It should not be our master when there are clear improvements with implementations already available; waiting to the actual end of stage 3 makes sense (when waiting another year would not make sense). When we're talking about something to be used for the next 20 years we should make sure to get it right. All conversions clearly need more validation work. That missing branches in Maxim's conversion could be noted only today clearly shows that validation of that conversion is also at a very early stage (and conversions with an ad hoc script need much more thorough, trickier validation because you don't benefit from knowing the tool has worked for other conversions). > If the reposurgeon conversion is not ready now, then it is too late > to be selected. I believe it's at least as ready as Maxim's. The last public version has some known issues, most of those have been addressed since that conversion run, others are being addressed. I fully expect it would in fact be in a good state to run the final conversion on the original dates, even though those are before the end of stage 3. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
