Hi Rapha,

 

I agree, there are more pressing matters.  I provided the information as 'food for thought', not to suggest to work on it right away.   On the contrary, I'd rather suggest a complete feature freeze until all outstanding issues are solved, i.e. I'd suggest to not work on any new stuff before the open issues are out of the way...  I know it's hard to commit to that, as most programmers much prefer to do new stuff rather than to maintain existing code  ;)

 

cheers

Hans
