And I still think that is probably the best strategy for e2compr, as it avoids arguments with Ted! But if Ted is also of the opinion that e2compr is currently stable, and I believe he is, and is willing to moderate incorporation into ext2, AIBHI, then the way is open to Riley going forward with the merging.
