Very interesting; thanks Harald.

Two follow-up questions:

     i) When Tip 713 is updated, will it show the updated plan for "Tcl 
8.6, 9.0 patches and leadup to Tcl 9.1.0", or will it be the plan for 
the next couple of years? If it's the first, then is there a two-year 
plan and if so where is it?

     ii) Is there a list of new features for 9.1, and if so, where is it?

Many thanks,
Alan
