I agree that could be a better endgame if it works.
That is where our agreement ends. I strongly prefer to have a
small and focused fix for immediate problem at hand, and then a
fundamental "(could be) better" change separately, so that we can
cool the latter longer.
This difference between us is not limited to this topic. I often
get irritated to see an attempt to jump to the endgame with too big
a change in a single step. Please don't.
Thanks.
