Since the ApJS method paper came out, we've had a number of
improvements.  (For reference, when the method paper came out, we had
released version 1.7.
http://yt-project.org/docs/2.3/reference/changelog.html )  Not all of
these items are worthy of detailed algorithmic description, but the
code has changed considerably in the nearly two years since the paper
was submitted.  There have also been some major successes that could
be reported on, depending on the venue -- for instance the workshop,
the Blue Waters inline analysis, and so on.

Were it to be delayed until a 3.0 release, the geometry refactor is
also worthwhile, as that would change much of the text included in the
original method paper.  Same for GDF developments.

method paper came out would be credited on.
