You missed the point.  After one year I don't see _it_ outplaying the
other programs significantly.  It started on top of the SSDF.  It is no
longer there.  That was the point.  I personally believe that if _any_
programmer finds something "new", it will be "understood" by the rest of
the programmers within a reasonable amount of time.  And then it has been
effectively negated.  Unless someone doesn't make any changes, of course.
