In lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, Steve Bliss writes: [a whole lot of info, which I've snipped...] Steve, I wouldn't mind renumbering the as-yet-unofficial torso patterns you mentioned.

  Re: [Parts Tracker] Wrapping up 2002-02
 
(...) Maybe. OTOH, if we want to pursue this train of thought, it's now or never. Once these files get released, things are pretty much set in stone. And the number of characters should not be a deterrant. We just have to be clear about which codes (...) (23 years ago, 22-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
Should we document in the Pattern Number FAQ which codes we're using for whom? For 3626b (Minifig Head): pS0 - (open) pS1 - (open) pS2 - Young Obi-Wan Kenobi (also Luke Skywalker from 2000 and later) pS3 - Luke Skywalker (from the 1999 sets) pS4 - (...)

  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Yes, it will. I made a mistake. I've manually changed these subfiles to more acceptable names: s\3626pSA1 and s\3626pSA2. Steve, please delete the old, obsolete versions of these subfiles. Thanks, Franklin (23 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

[sigh]... I just made *another* mistake. >:-( I forgot that I wanted to fix a mis-match, so I've just had to re-(re)-name the "Lobot" files.

(...) Steve, I asked you to fix the mis-match w/ the "Old Ben Kenobi" face pattern. You refused, claiming that having a "~moved to" file would add to "clutter". I've fixed it myself, by uploading a new pattern, the "Gasganno" face pattern, as a new (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
PS, As a reminder, we have to release a new version of the "old Ben Kenobi" face pattern, because there's a flaw with the version currently released to the field (the discs and non-discs for the eyes)... Franklin (23 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: rebuttal...

  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...

I have no idea what the nature of the dispute is, but I do know that it must be an essentially thankless task to be the administrator of the parts updates and that it may seem like an anonymous task to be a parts author.
