So you are leading a project which is still using xforms as interface (and not too much annoyed by it as far as I can tell) and you say _we_ are conservative? It is just that we do not have the same priorities. Lars> the issue with lyxstring will just come up more and more often. Lars> It is a hack and far from standard. I can understand that.

You've been saying that for ages, but one of the main consquence of aggressive templatification of lyx for now has been that it grows both in disk space and developpers time. I you shave both by a factor of 2, for example, I'll be glad to drop lyxstring :) Seriously, the time and space of 1.2.0 is much higher than 1.1.6, which itself had already a lot of stl in it (yes, I know I do not give numbers). So the redesign you are alluding too should be rather drastic to be effective. I see how you can win 100k and a couple minutes here and there, but it won't be enough to offset the bloat drift we will gain in the same time. And most of my lyx work will be done on a pII 366 laptop. JMarc
