Dear Ihor and Org mailing list,

I wanted to answer last weekend, because I had the intention to contribute a little in terms of code. However, I was very busy, and I will be very busy this weekend as well. All in all, the idea sounds great. I appreciate that my opinion is taken into account, but I know very little about citation systems. I was only a bit concerned about the effort which is needed to implement the changes, as little as they may be.
