Mostly implementation detail? Somebody seems to have ideas there and I |

like to heard ideas from others as well. |

I'm fond of sets and I'd extend maint to be feeded to sets other than |

world and all. |

User decision or triggered by sync depending on a FEATURE. |

I could think easily that such thing could happen (no network is a |
| 19 |
possibility) |

Discussion going on in this thread, so far Coldwind did quite well to |

accepting that you are at the very end of the bleeding edge you |
| 51 |
acknowledge that you are experimenting. |
