Well, that's the original question: are they actually different purposes, =
from the point of view of a user?

I just gave a concrete suggestion, which didn't involve "combining two arg=
uments", it involved splitting them up into three projects which all comple=
ment each other=2E=20

It feels like both you and Jordan feel the need to defend the work you've =
put in so far, which is a shame; as a neutral party, I want to benefit from=
 *both* of your efforts=2E It really doesn't matter to me how many mailing =
list threads that requires, as long as there aren't two teams making confli=
cting designs for the same feature=2E
