Well, I do not want to claim how much it was discussed anyway, but I do
remember it, and I think the situation was even less clear back then, I
think even the homepage was inconsistent back then, which AFAICT it is
no longer. Everything IIRC, if nothing else take this just as an
explanation how things can come to be viewed very differently, even if
only through bad memory (e.g. it might be the major part of the
discussion/research was on IRC, in which case you can not have known of
it).
