I was not sure if should say more in the recent version debate. But
I feel that silence may be bad here and this is logical place to talk.
First, the vote may be interpreted as a vote about work that I
have done. Custom in my country (and I suppose in most democracies)
tells that I should not vote in such case (and consequently I plan
not ot vote). However to avoid confusion I must say that I fully
support William's proposal. In fact, he very much articulated
pragmatic approach to Axiom developement that I tried to advocate.
