Discussion: 4.1.2

Do we need a 4.1.2 release?
Vastly more consumers for 4.2 so perhaps we should focus on that
On the other hand the overhead of maintaining a stream is low if we don't contribute to it
Consider keeping stream alive, but keeping fixes to an absolute minimum

Discussion: Model selection problem

When selection occurs but the selection is the same as before, we don't fire any selection event at the model level
There are use cases where re-selecting the same thing is not a no-op
This optimization is happening deep in the model and handlers have no way to react to re-selection if they wanted to
Essentially events are driven by state rather than state transitions. If there is a state transition that results in the same end state, the event is squashed
Purely state transition events would lead to event storms and loops
No conclusion on how to resolve it
