Heh.

Now, having said that, the community has made it clear that
baby-steps that happen to break past usage are acceptable if they
lead to more awesome, so over the next many years, we may be able to
fix a lot of the frustrtating stuff; if you want to see that happen
faster, help with CLLv1.1 (see
http://groups.google.com/group/lojban/browse_thread/thread/8e9bb19d63d97c87
) and with vocab (see
