Boosters,

the formal review of XInt library is now officially closed. Thanks for everybody for comments. Of course, it's fine to let ongoing discussion lead to conclusion, and I'll be watching those discussions.

The review was relatively heated, and many experienced folks expressed radically different opinions. Therefore, coming up with yes/no result is not easy, and won't happen overnight. Instead, I plan to summarize on the issues raised by March 21, Monday to see whether we all are on the same page at least about issues, and then come up with final review result by March 28.

Thanks, Volodya

And thanks to you, Volodya, for taking on the task of managing this review. And thanks also to Chad for submitting a concrete big integer proposal for review, no matter the outcome. I know there's been some criticism from my end regarding Chad's submission, but I still recognize the large amount of effort Chad has put into the project and I think it has, at least, definitely moved the idea of a C++ big integer library as a whole forward. - Jeff
