> I haven't read the original thread, but I too am worried that we'll run
into another situation where we optimize things for Mike's network
connection and it produces an unending stream of issues from people who
have different network connections.
As mike implies, there's not a lot we can do here: I think our best bet is
to actually try this and tune as we go.
This is IMO less likely to cause trouble than the cbt stuff did, since it
shouldn't be dependent on local timing or network issues. Rather, it
depends on the failure rate for extending from your guards. I don't
*think* that should be mike-dependent, but who can say.
Mike, one thing I can't remember if we talked about or not: I'm not going
to insist on a full proposal here, but I *would* like the final version to
come with a few paragraphs of explanation for path-spec.txt or somewhere
else that's appropriate.
