 +  <li>Single glossary: multiple glossaries were not necessary to OSInet, which funded development</li>
 +  <li>Optimization for large glossaries: this is the need expressed by OSInet, which funded development, to support its 5000+ term glossary of computing, for which glossary.module, even when coupled with flexinode or early CCK to bind blob content to terms, was not really efficient enough</li>
 +  <li>Using custom node type (g2_entry in g2.module) allows large definitions, with the complete drupal feature set for nodes. At the time of Drupal 4.7, neither flexinode not CCK were a reasonable choice for a generic module</li>
 +  <li>Manual alphabar maintenance: large glossaries will most of the time use all available initials, so the processing cost of maintaining it is not justifiable</li>
