You probably have not looked at them lately but all my programs are
poorly documented, so this is not about singing and dancing. I provide
the least amount I can get away with. There is also a broad consensus
that smcl is difficult to manage (i.e. translator people). The latest
discussions about resolution is merely academic, which is another way
of saying of no immediate consequence. Although a little removed from
the discussions about smcl, you are correct that a submission to the
Stata Journal should be encouraged.
