Hi,

None of the objections are specific to multi-track - uselessness, bad performance and extra complexity. And it's very inappropriate to approve a patch if you don't understand why it works or does not (by your own admission) especially if somebody else pointed out problems and doubly so if you sit on the TC.

This is just like block flags all over again. You blindly approve and support whatever François suggests regardless of technical merit and dis-merit.
