It was naive of me to attempt to create such a comparison table. Takes much more time than I have available for this.

It was to be expected that there are disagreements and I cannot resolve them without checking the code myself and perhaps without coming up with proof of concept exploitation code to settle it.

To prevent spreading false information, I took that wiki page offline.
