OK. As a committer, you do have the ability to veto any code change. When you do that, you are expected to provide a technical reason. Can you explain a little more why you consider it a bad idea to include the [bsp] code in [math]? I understand (and share) your frustration on getting some aspects of the 3.0 API settled; but I think we are making progress and I don't see adding the bsp code as really making a difference there. It does not look to me like it will be hard to adapt the exceptions management or other aspects of the [bsp] API to whatever we settle on for [math] 3.0, and without speaking for him, I assume that Luc is willing to do whatever repackaging or other work is necessary to bring it in.
