Myself I don't feel the need to create new brivla to be so pressing, compared
to sorting out more fundamental (and more interesting...) issues. But it would
certainly be a great help to have a vlaste that included lujvo, and not just
lujvo used more than 100 times (-- a threshold mentioned by Lojbab). It
should probably be a vetted list, to filter out dud lujvo, but otherwise as
large as possible. This might speed up composition; for example, the text
you sent me included a very good lujvo for 'saddle', which I would like
to use should I ever have cause to write in Lojban about saddles, but I
completely forget what the lujvo was, so would instead have to try to
reinvent one that would probably be inferior. Far better if I could just
search for 'saddle' in a very big vlaste, and find there your lujvo.
We need both -- well, all three -- and we are each called to our special favorites. But we should not (some long Pauline line goes here) condemn or even contemn people with other inclinations, rather get on with our own piece of teh work. And a nice comprehensive brivla list would sure be nice.
(Oh, and I don't think even {du'u} creates an intensional environment, it's all done with selbri)
