<SNIP> ...
  but a certified part can have sub parts not certified ! hence another
no-go.

Yes, but we aren't all that stupid. We will of cause start •            -------------------------
certifying the primitives and critical sub-parts.

  Don't take this so personally, it's not worth it.
  I am only trying to contribute to a worthy cause (LEGO).
  Everyone can have different opinions.
  I don't need to jump on the other guys traught.

  Anyway, I apologise if I have offended anyone,
  but I think I haven't.

As soon as all the primitives are certified and people start
to insert certification flags in their models, all certified
parts will be drawn with back-face-culling.

  That will take a lot of time. we should see progress (acceleration)
  as soon as we start implementing it.

You can't eat a cake before you've baked it!

  I was thinking more on the lines of, a table full of cakes (parts), but
until you fill the table you can start eating the cakes which are already
there.  8-P

In our case, it makes sense to make a single trip to the store for ingredients
(primitives).  Once we've got the ingredients on-hand, we can start baking the
cakes.

No, this didn't really add to the discussion.  I just liked the analogy.
