Actually, I'm glad to note that the new images
have shifted the discussion from far-fetched
code theories to the more interesting aspect of
the MS's history and how it was constructed :-)

I'm joking, of course. The new images will help
in sorting out a number of open questions in the
text contained in the VMs, but the bulk of
the text was already quite consolidated from the 
existing images.
In this area it will take much more time before
the impact of the new images will become apparent.

Cheers, Rene
