 Replying to [comment:9 arma]:
 > I just wrote proposal 213, to discuss getting rid of stream-level
 sendmes.

 Great!  I assume proposal 213 is the result of sponsor F year 2 item 12?
 Can you suggest a deliverable summary of a few sentences for the wiki
 page?  And can we close this sponsor deliverable ticket then (it's well
 past the November 1 deadline now)?  Any further discussion would have to
 go into a new ticket, too.

 > Branch task4485 in my git repo rips out stream-level sendmes. It would
 be interesting to run it in Shadow-land, to see if a) something unexpected
 breaks, and b) the performance changes when we effectively double the
 window sizes.

 Did you want me to run this simulation?  It would need a new ticket
 though, unless it's still part of the deliverable.  In that case, as
 November 1 was 5 days ago, we better finish this simulation and analysis
 of its results really soon.  If it's not part of the deliverable, let's
 move this to a new ticket.
