So who's handwaving ? You complained about a lack of conception but delete
the 'one-sentence enumeration points' with many concrete goals. Would
you like it better, if i'd remove all those '*' and '\n' to create a
concatenated paragraph ?

Do you want something philosophical ? Sorry, Rene is a technican, no
philosopher. So he can give you all the technical details, if you want him
to elaborate on one of those 'one sentence points'. He will not give you
advice about how to live better with T2, and he will not form a religion
of it.

Or do you want to hear something buzzwordy like:
'Our goal is to inventy a mighty semiautomatic professional internet
integrated buildkit environment with a flexible, but not as flexible as
in rock therefore hopefully still with buildkit but also with
functionality of a source distribution but not as much source distribution
as gametoo blablabla' ? Sorry, I am no marketing man.

Or do you just want to get all the info in one easy short sentence ? Here
it goes:
        It is the small parts that form the essemble.

If you want to get the difference between furure T2 3.x and future ROCK
3.x you have to sit down and read those one sentence whatever thingy.

I did not get your point. Maybe because I was programming instead of doing
my homework when I've been at school ....
