  Wow, does this "people" include yourself?  What was this email
about?

  You apologized for making a provoking comment there.  Why again?

  And yes, as Andreas wrote, I don't think you understand the problem
Andreas was trying to solve.  And yes, it was started under the
assumption that the current VM behaves in the way it does.  And yes,
Bert has a point: we have the control over the behavior, and
determinism under the assumption has a real practical merit.  Please
re-visit the problem domain this discussion was in.

  BTW, you apologized for making a direct comment but didn't mention
that claiming Andreas' code was buggy and incorrect was wrong.  Is
that still so?
