The motivation and the expected benefits are far from clear to me,
because all I have so far is a meandering e-mail thread.

For a change proposal as massive as "throw out working code and touch

stating the goals, their benefits, the possible ways to get there, and
their cost.  I don't think that's too much to ask.
