* The event loop (PublicInbox::DS) is an evolution of a fairly standard
  C10K event loop.  See ds.txt in this directory for more.

Things got weirder in 2021:

  improve startup time for shell completion and manage git/SQLite/Xapian
  single-writer during long, parallel imports.  It may eventually become

* SOCK_SEQPACKET is used extensively in lei, and will likely make its
  way into more places, still.
