I am assuming that Josef' solution is the one that has been pushed.

I am not voting yet as the discussion does not appear to be finished.

(I may not be able to vote until Tuesday as I am going away, and will have limited WiFi access.)

I want to point your attention to one interesting point
That this voting will be finished if somebody else make any choice to reach the quorum.
So the democracy will win and we will finish this painful discussion.

[Ivan Denisov]

Please take a look for alternative solution.

It makes the VAL fit the Platform Specific Issues documentation.

I am suggesting to make calls and operations be forbidden as the second argument of VAL.

There should be variables and constants only.

Ivan, you are wasting our time. There is no need for this change. It breaks old software.
Please, please, please stop the discussion at this topic.

You should take your time and solve the StdFolds problem. Otherwise we have to roll back to version 1.6

We already made old software incompatible with 1.7. So I do not see any problem with this. Transition is trivial. I have made it for the whole BlackBox in 15 minutes.
I am suggesting to fix the problem in the root and at the same time reduce complexity of the system.
Now I know from the designer that this complexity is the initial design for "confusing russians" so it is much work to do for make it simple as AK-47.

[Zinn]

Unnecessary change is always a problem.

I had sent you detailed instructions how to do this with your Ubuntu. It is not hard. Try to do this single commit for the final release. This will be symbolical because there are a lot of your's work in it.

The vote passes and is implemented with "ELSE" rather than "RETURN".
