Latest review

First review round: 12.1 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
One reviewer considered the paper "ready for publication", one asked for many clarifications, and one only submitted confidential comments to the editor. From the comments we got, the rejection is a bit surprising, but obviously we don't know what was in the confidential comments -- which doesn't help us improve the manuscript. That's not the journal's fault, though.
