Wow! That's quite a slamming. Given such a negative assesment of
the field, I understand better your paranoid feelings about Clean :)
But I will note that even you can envision some good coming out of
a source release, namely other implementor borrowing techniques
from Clean and lifting the entire field. Isn't that something we
should wish for?

And how is that incompatible with a source release?
