= Section 5 =

The suggestion is to remove this section altogether. It is not detailed enough
to be useful to a potential user (in contrast to a user manual), there is also
not enough information to understand how things are truly implemented,
but it still contains details irrelevant for a publication in JHEP.

>>> The section 5 has been moved to the appendix.  The authors believe that it is important that the information contained in this section, although very basic, 
>>> appears in the official Delphes public. For the reader it important to know which dataformat can be used as an input to Delphes, how the data-flow works, and finally,
>>> what are the basic performances in terms of speed and memory usage, especially true for a "fast-simulation software".

Figure 1 is a striking illustration of the previous comment. This diagram is
both too detailed for a JHEP publication, but too simplistic and not readable.

For example:

 * there is no mention of PF, which is an important addition in DELPHES3
>>>added
 * there is no mention of PU subtraction, another important addition in DELPHES3,
>>>added
 * the workflow is neither specific and accurate
>>> the diagram includes all the major components of Delphes workflow.
 * the figure is cut on its right part
>>> the figure is fine, the referee probably uses a non-standard PDF viewer.
 * the caption lacks a complete discussion
>>> added

Figure 2 is yet another illustration of the same problem:

 * there is no explanation of what is the grey band in the right plot
>>> the grey band are the error bars. This has been changed in the present version.
 * there is not explanation of why there is no grey band in the left plot
 * the caption lacks a discussion
>>> added discussion in the caption. 

As the suggestion is to remove the section altogether, no further comment
is made in this report about it.
