Even back in the day the confusion caused by the patch naming scheme was well known. I got the impression Latecomer was responsible for the naming, because he responded with a refusal to do anything about it. So unless someone else has usurped that responsibility I wouldn't hold out much hope for change.When the merge jobs, and we get back to regular updates, what are the chances of "RedCat" cleaning up the patch page to avoid further confusion? I don't mind helping people asking about what to do, but when there's an obvious fix, I don't see why that shouldn't be used.
Actually this reminds me of some of Latecomer's other behaviour at the time, and I lately got the impression somewhere that he is the lead developer. If this is correct, all the development struggles suddenly make sense to me, and I find myself much more sympathetic towards BC.
IIRC Bluecat writes the script in German though, so even if he's written several game weeks of script it will still effectively need to be completely rewritten.but to me it seems that it should be mostly a copy and paste job by now.
