Ian put in a ton of work on a really difficult task, and the work was
out there and open to feedback.  Updates were posted to this list on
which you could have commented.  It is even *still* open for feedback
and input and etc.  But they're also the implementor, and thus have more
leeway on decisions.

I also know that tasks like these tend to be an enormous emotional
effort.  Please be considerate to not douse the accomplishment.
