I've read those back then. Bartosz' system was very powerful but unfortunately
complex to implement and had some implications on performance. The good thing
with the MS approach is that it accomplishes an important part of it without
requiring explicit owner tracking. It surely doesn't fix 'shared' the way that
Bartosz' system would, but at least it alleviates the need for it in quite some
places.(In reply to comment #11)
