Granted, I think good progress is being made and perhaps the changes needed for the rest aren't that huge (and maybe there's more pieces I'm not quite understanding yet similar to the two-split-patches-always-summing-to-the-original), I was just a little surprised that my comments are summarized by "expecting a small and final reroll". :-)
It was because I didn't think (and I still do not think) your comments are something for the immediate future, for a tool that wants to present its minimum-serviceable experimental version to users so that the users can experiment, extend it more and fix its behaviour incrementally. I may have been probably wrong, but I was getting an impression from the reviews that it is getting to there, not the feature-perfect version that needs only maintenance from now on, but a minimum-serviceable one. We could instead of collect all the I want moon and I want cheeze comments and iterate until the tool has all of them before it hits 'next', but I do not think it is often what we do to a new feature.
Yes I'm not expecting any new functionality but I am expecting a bit more than tiny cleanup.
OK. Then we'd need a non-trivial amount of work before we get there. Thanks.
