The problem with this effort is that it is limiting. It doesn't take into account YGWV

But a lot of the Unfinished work is essential and thus central to the whole body of work. That is difficult does not reduce its importance. KoS is difficult, often for the same reasons of obscurity or mythic meaning rather than materialist usefulness.

But a lot of that work was cut because it was not correct, not just for space limitations. The author's were not always told which category their omissions were in.

And with all due respect to Ian, some parts were dead wrong, too.
I actually find GAG, with its warped angles, sloppy inclusivity and sometimes dead wrongness, FAR more acceptable and useful than trying to limit.
There already IS a core of material: what has been printed under my scrutiny. Plus whatever people wish to add or subtract from that.
