### Impact on existing queries.

As points-to underpins many queries and provides the call-graph and reachability analysis required for taint-tracking, many queries will have additional results and some may have fewer results.

As points-to analysis underpins many queries, and provides the call-graph and reachability analysis required for taint-tracking, the results of many queries may change.

28-
New results are a result of the improved reachability analysis and non-local tracking of bound-methods.
29-
Removed results are a result of more precise tracking of values through `*` arguments.
30-
The expectation is that number of true positives will increase and the number of false negatives will decline.

However, this is new code and may still contain errors.

The improved reachability analysis and non-local tracking of bound methods may identify new results.
29+
The increased precision in tracking of values through `*` arguments may remove false positive results.
30+
31+
Overall the number of true positive results should increase and the number false negative results should decline.
32+
We welcome feedback on the new implementation, particularly any surprising changes in results.
