I think you missed the point of the original post, which was to
re-evaluate and re-visit AO *as it is today* - the entire point was
to ignore whatever else it has been in the past few years.

It seemed a good thing to do because AO is currently an excellent
system for research and discussion (it's free to anyone to verify
and test anything!), and they have really stuck their necks out AND
are famous for "worst launch ever" pretty much.

And ... because AO doesn't get much discussion on this list, yet has
some interesting features (we've talked in depth about Raph's games,
about Dave's games, etc etc but very little about AO IIRC?).

Fair enough. But you probably shouldn't reply to something about a
technology you don't know about, but which is used (in one variant
or another) for nearly all game development.
