 Another case are schemas containing a `not` clause that overlaps with most elements generated. Aside from implementing a smarter `not` intersection there is not much to do.
 
 ### Timeout
-Usually due to heavy recursive definitions where the recursive schemas also contain many fields and options to generate from. One possible solution is to peek at the next value, if it is a `$ref` then geenrate with "less chance" if it's a property, or if it's an array of `$ref` scale down the generation size even further. The other case where this often happens are regex intersections, [`greenery`](https://github.com/qntm/greenery) is quite slow sometimes and can cause timeouts.

 ### Recursive intersection
 In order to perform intersection of recurisve schemas, we create a placeholder, and when we reach it again we return it and create a new schema on demand. The problem is that sometimes recursive schemas are reached from different branches, the code tries to return the placeholder but it doesn't exist yet because we are in the process of creating it.

 ### dependentSchemas and oneOf
 Both keywords can often cause timeouts if the number of elements is too large:
 - For `dependentSchemas` we compute the power set of all the keys and then calculate each intersection. This is fine when there are few `dependentSchemas` but the number grows exponentially, the number of combinations is `2**length`, meaning that for 8 keys there will be 256 schemas. There is no current solution or alternative to this.
-- For `oneOf`, since it behaves as a XOR, we have to intersect each clause with the negation of the rest. Prefer `anyOf` instead which performs a single-pass intersection between all the schemas.

 ## pattern and length
 When generating data, if we have `pattern` + `minLength`/`maxLength` we generate based on `pattern` and then apply filtering. This approach often throws a `StreamData.FilterTooNarrowError`. Instead we should add support for generating strings based on regular expressions + length options. This change should likely be implemented in [MoreStreamData](https://github.com/IgnacioGoldchluk/more_stream_data)
 
-## pattern intersection
-To compute the intersection between two `pattern` we are using [greenery](https://github.com/qntm/greenery) which is a Python package, forcing us to include Pythonx as dependency. Additionally, `greenery` is quite slow and buggy. If there is no alternative in a faster language that can be included via NIF then we might have to develop an alternative in Elixir. It does not matter that the final regex is "ugly" because it gets passed to `MoreStreamData` and tokenized anyway.
-
 ## contains keyword
 The current solution is a hack that places the `contains` value on the first available `prefixItems`, which returns empty intersection errors when the schema must be intersected with another one that contains incompatible prefix items. Instead we should keep the `contains` keyword in the array object as use it in the data generation step.
 
 ## error messages
 We are currently raising and letting the code throw a `MatchError` without much context. We should standarize the type of errors (`EmptyIntersection`, `EmptyAnyOf`, etc.) and provide context.
