If you had read the proposal, you’d know that was brought up, obviously. I'm sorry, but you're missing the point here.

Fair enough — I need to update the proposal with the new details. What I have grasped is that no > one else has offered much opinion, so saying that "everyone else has > agreed at every step of the way" doesn't actually have the weight it > pretends to. Sure, but that was referring to a single point (changing how standard Sequence slicing would work), and it’s not how I would have phrased it. I might have said: "no one has suggested otherwise" If not one is proposing something, it doesn't much matter how many folks have been involved in the conversation :-) As for not many people having contributed to the conversation, I'm a bit surprised -- there is a LOT of discussion about all kinds of ideas that are never going to see the light of day. Maybe that's a good sign -- if people don't pile on to tell me why it's a bad idea, maybe it has a shot :-) Or it's because I didn't put much text in email, but rather pointed to an external git repo. If/when I can find the time, I'll updated my ideas and post again. -CHB
