If this is for the project I think it is, my understanding was that you all didn't strictly require matching decomp for what you were doing. But I could be wrong about that. I was a bit unclear in my message above in that I really meant matching decompilation in and of itself isn't a career.

Your example is a cool case though. Maybe someday for me :)

Oh, I'm not the one in question, just that we both know of one person doing decomp for a living there. You're right that it was stated that strict byte for byte matching wasn't required, but I would imagine it's still all the same skills, you just don't need to care about regalloc diffs, and the like. No need to do fake matches either. A little freeing, but also it could make it harder to notice subtle diffs if the regs are different in very subtle ways where you don't notice reuse, so I prefer strict matching myself.
