Since this seems to imply that I'm mistaken, I apologize.  So far, I thought
you contributed a lot to the build system, to analyzing the compiler and the
language. These are all things I could not possibly do, I do not have the
expertise.  I didn't see much algebra code by Waldek, either.  (I am not
speaking of fixing bugs, he fixed many many many.  I was only speaking of the
design of new packages / domains / etc.)  Still, you probably know that I value
Waldek as one of the most important axiom contributors.  And I'm pretty sure
that, once time is ripe, Waldek or his students will provide important
contributions, it suffices to look at his "literature" webpage.  Same goes for
you.

I did certainly not want to insult anybody.  If I did, I apologize.  I tried to
reply to

as well as I could, and obviously, I failed miserably.

Just curious, could you please refresh my memory?
