Is there no complexity your complexity hounds don't love?!?!? Seriously... do you just hate implementers? "Hey, here is an edge case, let's put that in the base spec!" Can you please get rid of aggregated and distributed claims. There are just claims. Period. If someone wants to know the provenance of a claim then THEY HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS! If this isn't the kind of thing to put in an extension spec then literally nothing should be an extension, we should just shove any stupid feature anybody can think of into the spec.

This feature was a core requirement of some of the participants. It could go into an extension, but we are also criticized for having too many documents.

I think aggregated and distributed flames are a core feature.

[Nat Sakimura]

Agreed with John.

Without it, we would have lost much of the value of the Connect.

This ticket should be invalidated.

This is a core feature of the Connect. We are also criticized for having too many documents.
