So, nothing could be more clear than this example. As I said before,
Continuing to follow TLG naming scheme causes problems. Always.

Is it a nice thing to put some already done and meet the quality
requirements parts on hold, just because they are "exactly" problem from TLG
naming point of view? Could there be any other example which is more clear
showing that this naming scheme influences CAD enjoyment in a very very bad
way?

Look at the situation again. We have some parts already done and we didn't
include them to the last update. Why? Are they not satisfactory? Are they
low quality? No. We just couldn't have decided what should be their part
number. How...anyway.

just got the vote! great. BUT i am curious as to why the folowing were put • on

the large technic hook?
the knife?
the harpoon?
the 9v motor?
i assume that the hook,harpoon and kjnife suffer the same problem that toe

Yes, that is basically why.  We are trying to work out a compromise between • the
use of LDraw as a modelling tool and as a parts reference.
Some number codes refer to specific-colored composite pieces. So using • those
numbers for generic #16 pieces would be inaccurate - thus ruining the • accuracy
of LDraw as a parts reference.
So releasing those parts as-is would cause problems.

In addition, the knife is on hold per the authors request.

I am truly sorry that we are going through this problem. But LDraw is a dual purpose program. The original purpose, and one that is still valid, useful, and needed, is that of a parts reference. A parts reference that depends on using TLG part (...) (25 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
