Hi,

I was pleasantly surprised to see in the Changelog for 2.161 "Preliminary =
UNSTABLE support for a new patch theory named "darcs-3".
It looks quite exciting as "It also reduces the worst case asymptotic runt=
ime for commutation and merging from exponential to merely quadratic in th=
e number of patches involved."
As this was in Augut 2020, what it the current state of affairs (and futur=
e plans) ? Is it possible to enable it ?

Also, I would be glad to update the FAQ about that as the latest update is=
 from 2012 https://darcs.net/FAQ/Performance.
So any information would be great, especially about the tests used and per=
formance application. Documents about the theory would be nice too,

Thanks,

Alexis
