Dear Tigger,
The Knuth68 reference is just one of many, why do you stick to it all the time?
Fine, I know that the new system isn't not innovative (sounds more like market speech to me) but it's surely an improvement over the freelist approach - how long they have been in use, since 1950 or?-)
I don't think Hyperion is just blindly adopting something new and cool without serious testing.
