I believe the current policy is to preserve the old pickles since we now have the pickle jar to do regression testing. And I agree with that policy since we must avoid breaking backward compatibility at all (reasonable) cost. Since we have versioned pickles would that cause massive pain for you? > Carl By the way: What happened to looking into LLVM in the context of fast_float?
