Re: Scripting support (PATCH)

["Yoshinori K. Okuji" <okuji@enbug.org>]

Now, both Marco and Vladimir work on the scripting support separately, and I'm 
glad to see the development going well. However, we must choose either of 
them (or even none of them, if both are not good ;) to integrate a result 
into the official code.

I understand that there are two implementations because they do not agree on 
one or more technical issues. As the maintainer, I need to listen to opinions 
(not mental ones, but technical ones), and determine a direction. So I ask 
you to speak pros and cons in both implementations (especially, Vladimir and 
Marco). Even if you are not Vladimir or Marco, if you have any opinion, feel 
free to describe it.

- What are advantages in Vladimir's implementation?

- What are disadvantages in Vladimir's implementation?

- What are advantages in Marco's implementation?

- What are disadvantages in Marco's implementation?


Here are my own:

- What are advantages in Vladimir's implementation?

It has already implemented most features we need.

- What are disadvantages in Vladimir's implementation?

Poorly documented. The execution model is a bit complicated.

- What are advantages in Marco's implementation?

Well documented. A bit simpler.

- What are disadvantages in Marco's implementation?

Fewer features are implemented. The kernel is bloated.
