    Thanks! That was a really enjoyable ride down the history of VSS and gave a very clear picture of how the various components have evolved together over the past couple of decades.

     

    I always find it helpful to have this kind of big picture visualisation of a technology - especially for planning and troubleshooting (logs have come a long way over the last few years, but you still occasionally find components handing over without telling you exactly where control has been passed to...)
