Subject: [9fans] alef post mortem?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: e7251896-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025

When was the decision made to remove alef from use?  What were the
factors?  What worked well about alef, and where was it lacking?
Was there ever a retrospective paper written analyzing what
was learned and why it was abandonned?
