Dimitri! So sorry for you that you could not live to see the first double-star release. *Your* first double-star releease, after so many years of work and striving. Nobody wants to leave this world early. But I dearly wish that you could let loose in good confidence that Frederic, Jean-Louis and the others will take your job to the  positive end that it deserves. And I hope that this confidence also may add a tiny aspect of solace to your mourning family and friends.
