I agree that the status quo is suboptimal. My concern is merely that
we shouldn't end up tearing a half-working system down just because (?)
properly fixing it is more work than tearing it down.
Provided that I'm not going to be the one doing the work, I won't
object to whatever solution is picked. Please go ahead!
Merry Christmas,
Christoph
