Would you mind to be a little more elaborate about
the Stackless features in the slides?

Especially, I dislike written claims which look like things
are implemented already, since this will end up in the search
engines, not the relativating actual words you are going
to say.

I have no problem if you are talking of existing channels which
are really implemented and can be compared to Stackless channels.

But please don't abuse the name "Stackless" to advertize for
features before you really have them. I think to reserve the
name for the future, because the necessary effort to make an
existing language stackless is not comparable to implementing
it from scratch. I did not plan to work five years and leave
the name to someone else.

I'd really appreciate if you could label these features as things
to come soon, and not so talk about "Stackless" at all, but
about features which exist in Stackless Python, too.

In a way, I'm worried. You could do a different, similar
presentation without worrying me. But I'm worried.
My stomach tells me that I don't want it this way.
Please think of it.
