Abstract
We give a survey for the results in [Yeu20a, Yeu20b, Yeu20c], which attempts to relate the derived categories under general classes of flips and flops. We indicate how the approach fails because of what appears to be a formal problem. We give some ideas, and record some failed attempts, to fix this problem. We also present some new examples.
