At the end, the important thing is that<br>
both versions should be available for users (the original version, and<br>
the one which was improved by new developers). It is hardly possible to<br>

In any case, that might be a topic for SN (as an ASLO's superset)<br>
to handle this kind of issues in the future.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div> We can reevaluate when SN takes over, but given the current infrastructure I think giving Alan joint ownership is the most pragmatic approach.<br>
