An important part of ivy was re-implemented the last year to simplify
and unify some interfaces and many errors were corrected.

I use ivy since 4 years ago with not big issues for the moment (When I
have them I have reported and they have been solved almost immediately).
But it needs some improve before becoming part of vanilla.

It would be very nice if you comment/report/ask that to Abo-Abo. To get
an update of the current status.

FTM I will refer him to this email.
