No. Dodge failed. We did user testing on it, and it failed. Read the
unity-design list, where this was discussed at length. You would learn
something.

No, there is no other application that is relevant, or needs patching.

Again, you are mistaken. Huge numbers of bugs have been fixed, and this
code was dropped because users generally found it confusing. I liked it.
You like it. Tough - we take risks and innovate, and occasionally we
have to backtrack. That's science.

No, it was in no sense essential. There is not a single thing you can do
with dodge that you cannot also do without it. I liked it. You liked it,
but it was not essential - and describing it like that reminds me of a
teenager describing a pimple as a matter of life and death. It may feel
that way to you, but by over-dramatizing the issue you are only reducing
the likelihood that further ideas and suggestions from you get the
attention they deserve.
