Last I heard, there were other entertaining subtle bugs in notesfiles,
and at least one of the authors had been heard to say, in public, that
it badly needed a total rewrite.

I tend to agree that the concept of notesfiles is a better way to go.
I'm concerned that some of the 2.10.n efforts may be reinventing the
wheel in a bass-ackwards way, with the result eventually looking like
a botched notesfiles lookalike.
