Ah, ok. Haven't read that list in a while.

One good example is probably the latest Monticello (given Avi's code
quality in general), because I think the one in the latest 3.9 is

is the reason for the trees to be rendered as lists. That issue will
obviously also strike you since SMLoader uses a tree view too.
