Sorry, but it's not us who provoke. There is this F# fanboy who tries to play his games, and doesn't say what his motivations are. You know when there is money involved there are interests. I'll try to write something. I have to be careful, however, because we have competitors, and they are also after such information. Maybe I pick one of our subsystems. That should be good enough for a case study while not revealing too many details.
