Folks,

Perhaps we may want discuss this briefly at our meetup on Tuesday. I do not want to get bogged down talking about it, but I think if any of us knows further detail or more current information, it would be good to note it.

Note that I chose _not_ to post it as an agenda item on the WP:Meetup/Seattle page. I would rather keep this low key. I am not looking to make anyone in the greater community feel challenged. I am just looking for more insight.

Yours, Peaceray

sadly, that new tool also appears to be closed-source, so could also be removed at the author's whim, at any time. :/ https://github.com/zhaofengli/reflinks/blob/master/LICENSE I haven't had a chance to investigate to see if anyone is discussing the possibility of open-sourcing it, with the author https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zhaofeng_Li
