Honestly, I think erebusant's version was well-done, but I wanted to reconcile it with BP's fixes, many of which are valid universally and not included in erebusant's version, and others of which are BP-specific tweaks (which we would account for within BP). I haven't had the time for a more in-depth analysis though, but I would be happy to put it out there if someone else wants to look at it. (I got it from ScuD, who got it from erebusant, who got it from whomever, so I really doubt there would be any objection to making it public or at least semi-public.)
That would be great.
(I'm a strong believer in not letting the best be the enemy of the good. It would be extremely valuable to have a modern version of Ascension. Perhaps there are other fixes which are implementable too, but just having a non-overwriting version that fixes the egregious bugs would already be great.)
I think you mean "not letting the good be the enemy of the best." If you have the best, you have nowhere to go but down. I would also greatly appreciate a modern version of Ascension.
