I have two comments. The first is that while I prefer my sphere tesselation
to the standard one (and presumably you do also :-), a number of people
prefer the standard one. I think that a vote of some sort might be in order
before replacing the standard one.
My second comment is about the type 5 edge lines. I don't think the real
problem with removing them is the file size of the other sphere primitives;
the real problem is the fact that all (or at least almost all) parts that
use a sphere primitive will have to be updated to put the type 5 edge lines
back in. To make matters worse, this isn't actually possible to do in a way
that is compatible with arbitrary complexity primitive substitution.

| Travis, here is a low res version of your sphere primitive. I moved the type 5 lines from the edge into the other sphere primitives, as to prevent them from showing up when it placed against a torus. I could move the edge lines back into the file if (...)
