 Manuscript:
 o As a reminder, please make sure that:
   - \proglang, \pkg and \code have been used for highlighting throughout
 the paper (including titles and references), except where explicitly escaped.

+We have checked our usage of these macros, and esp. added appropriate highlighting
+in titles and references. Note that for several terms we are not entirely sure,
+whether it is considered appropriate to use the \proglang macro or not. We have added
+a corresponding list near the end of this text file.

 o Abbreviation expansions should only be introduced in the abstract if they
 are needed again within the abstract. If an expansion is introduced within
 the abstract it needs to be introduced again within the manuscript the
 first time it is used.

+We have removed the abbreviation "IDE" in the abstract. We have decided

 o Abbreviations should be spelled in upper-case letters without additional

+We have checked our usage of abbreviations and their introduction, and have
+corrected several occurences. For several terms which are derived from
+abbreviations, can be read as acronyms, or contain portions of abbreviations or
+acronyms, we have decided to treat these as proper names, which are not
+introduced with an expansion. A list terms that we have / have not treated as
