Re: some thoughts

I'm not the maintainer any more so I don't have anything to do with 
direction for the Lyntin project.

However, Lyntin is written very modularly and all of the commands, 
variable expansion and all that--it's all implemented in modules and all 
that functionality can be taken out very cleanly without affecting the 
Lyntin engine.

I think if you're really gung-ho about your ideas, you should remove all 
the modules and prototype your ideas and see how you like it, the various 
pros and cons and all that.

That link in your email brings me to an Error page, so I'm not sure what 
you're looking at.

Hope that helps--
