All, Let's de-escalate this, please. There's no reason to doubt Klaus wants to see this to work well, just as everyone else does. We unfortunately have conflicting proposals posted, and everyone is passionate enough about their work, but please simmer down.
As I mentioned earlier, I'd like to refocus on the basic implementation and save the persistent state discussion once the core is solid. After going through it all, I feel there's enough to discuss there to keep us busy for little while longer. Additional comments on the code will be coming from me later today.
