Arcan is profoundly important tech. Bigger than Wayland.
The communications around it are really, really hard to follow.
I interviewed Mr Ståhl by email. I am not sure why his writing is so hard to read, but it is. I think he is so smart, he operates on a much higher level than us proles and it's hard to follow.

I am tempted to ask my boss for expenses to cover a flight to Sweden, so you could explain it in person. I mean, were you so inclined.
