This proposal it an acknowledgement that this plan wasn't working. The plain fact of the matter is that I have made more progress on improving vr in the last day or so than in the previous year. Why? Because I simply focused on vr. Merging vr and vr2 is a hard project. Perhaps a new kind of Leo tool would help, but I don't know what such a thing would be.

Better, simply run vr2 to see the new features it offers. More importantly in practice, vr is based on a QtWebKitWidgets.QWebView (Qt5 terminology, per leoQt.py). vr2 is based on a QtWebKitWidgets.QWebView(). At present, vr2 does not work with PyQt5. Substantial porting would be required.

In practice, such standards are difficult to maintain over time, even if somebody enforces them once.
