Whoops; I thought Theo would make the decision, and his last email made
me think he might have.
I am happy to help as much as I can to make the process easy for you.
In the meantime, I think I will release 5.0.0 when it's ready. I'll take
into account your feedback in a future release.

my proposal is rejected. While I am sad, I understand.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my proposal.

it's perhaps worth mentioning in the "pros" column that toybox (a
0BSD-licensed busybox which provides most of /bin on Android, which i
maintain) and busybox both use Gavin's bc/dc implementations[1]. so
although the GNU versions are their own thing and i assume likely to stay

I think you are correct

Having fewer versions of software is not neccessarily a plus.
It is easily considered a negative.

Hello,
My name is Gavin Howard. I have developed a new bc(1) and dc(1)
implementation. [0]
I propose replacing the current implementations with mine.
Advantages:
* Performance. [1]
* Extensions for ease of use.
* With build options to remove most extensions, if desired.
* Compatible with GNU
