Thank you Steph... it will be a challenge to produce a framework to support all our needs but I believe we have, between us all, the expertise and motivation to make it so!

I feel honored by your trust (which is a ***really*** important value for me - mainly my own value).

Now slices are only good when dealing with crosscutting changes. They help us finding the packages in the

kind of random order of the inbox :)

What I would like is to have a deeper merge (not turning around morphic idiosyncrasies).

For fun I wanted to check CUIS Morph since juan removed a lot of unnecessary code.

Cool.

Happy to work with you all to achieve that goal!

Excellent!

We really want to learn from your experience.

I have rome also in my scanner.
