It's a useful survey, clearly. The big diff pasting in the new version
does offer (edit summary) some way of tracking what went on, which is
welcome, though not really for the purists. The one striking thing is
the lede, which is a bit "impatient" for the general reader. Comparing
with the old lede, the meaning has shifted somewhat, also. It could do
with some division of sentences, use of "in other words", that sort of
thing.
