Subject: Minor edits in abstract

No need to invent a new word (archive-able) when an existing one
(archivable) does the job.

One issue that we have not included and which perhaps we could discuss in
the paper (space permitting), is that this tool could bypass the use of
blockchains in this context.

 %% Abstract
 {\noindent\mpregular
   %% CONTEXT
-  Many reproducible workflow solutions have been proposed during recent decades.
-  Most use the popular high-level technologies when they were created, providing an immediate solution that is not sustainable in the long-term.
-  However, decades later, scientists lack the resources to re-write their projects, while still being accountable for their results.
-  This creates generational gaps and due to the obsolete technologies, impedes reproducibility or building upon previous work.
+  Many reproducible workflow solutions have been proposed over the recent decades.
+  Most use the popular high-level technologies when they were created, providing an immediate solution which is unlikely to be sustainable in the long term.
+  Indeed, decades later, scientists lack the resources to re-write their projects while still being accountable for their results.
+  This creates generational gaps and, due to obsolete technologies, impedes reproducibility or building upon previous work.
   %% AIM
   We aim to introduce a set of criteria to address this problem and demonstrate their practicality.
   %% METHOD
   The criteria are: completeness (i.e., no dependency beyond a POSIX-compatible operating system, no administrator privileges, no network connection and primarily stored in plain-text); modular design; temporal provenance; scalability; and free-and-open-source software.
-  %% RESULTS
   Their usefulness is tested through an implementation: "Maneage" (managing+lineage).
-  It is stored in machine-actionable and human-readable plain-text, enabling version-control, cheap archival, automatic parsing to extract data provenance, and peer-reviewable verification.
+  %% RESULTS
+  It is stored in machine-actionable and human-readable plain-text, enabling version-control, cheap  archival, automatic parsing to extract data provenance, and peer-reviewable verification.
   Furthermore, we show that these criteria are not limited to long-term reproducibility but also the immediate/fast regime.
   It has been tested in several research publications including the present one, with snapshot \projectversion.
-  %%CONCLUSION
+  %% CONCLUSION
   We conclude that requiring longevity from solutions is realistic, and discuss the benefits of these criteria for scientific progress.
