The issue I have is that people talk about "problems" yet aren't clear about them. Without clearly describing them, they turn into FUD. I don't think that's good for any of us. Clearly explaining them will help us either fix them or decide to pull the plug. Also, SA has been poorly understood and its fixes poorly propogated, so it's not clear to me that the issues remain. When I started all of this, some folks told me that "X" was a problem, yet another developer told me, "No, I fixed that." > - No practical benefit over 1:1 threading has been demonstrated. Why does SA have to have a benefit over 1:1 threading? We aren't losing 1:1 in doing this. We also aren't changing the default threading. Andrew, you seem to have an emotional stake in SA not coming back. Why? All we have to do is believe that we lose less than we gain by bringing SA back. My understanding is that core is of this opinion. They would have told me not to merge if they weren't. Take care, Bill
