Because I'd like mdds to be product-neutral, general purpose library. That's the primary motivation on why I started this project, and I intend to keep it that way. So, no, I don't want this to be a part of the repository of one product that uses it. > * why it is not branched and frozen with the same cadence - so > we have small fixes back-ported, rather than having to review > large code movements / renaming / etc. It is because the repository was a Mercurial repository up until I converted it to git *only a few days ago*, and I was extremely uncomfortable using branches with Mercurial. Now that the repo is git, I can use branches more aggressively. > + I'm well up for API cleaning and big beautification > patches etc. but prefer them on the unstable branch. > > Also - some UI pointers for QA to do some more hard-core testing of its > various uses cases here would be much appreciated. Sure. The code mostly affects matrix calculations in formulas. This can be either a function that takes in-line formula expressions, or an expression whose result is an array which spans over multiple cells. Even when you don't pass or receive matrix data to or from a function, the code itself may still use the matrix objects, so those functions are affected as well. Many statistical functions fall under this category.
