The problems should already be fixed... thanks for what you posted on these as well!
Given this status, whether or not it is easier does not matter to me... what matters is how long will it take. For those who have time to rewrite that is wonderful... but as for me, I have other code to write!
There is just one minor issue left I want to get done hopefully before Dallas, but this issue should be invisible to users even in its current state. All of your other points are valid, but until someone takes the time to do a rewrite... this is all we got, so I'm going to make it work for our team, and anyone else who wants to use it. (Up to this point... it was your goal as well).
Once it is proven to be reliable... any new rewrite will introduce new potential risk, and unfortunately it is difficult to find people who have time to test this properly... otherwise we'd have fixed it before now. There is value in code that has been well-tested in spite of its imperfections... if it is proven reliable... that's really all that any user cares about. Have you seen my changes? The author had the same idea on this fix as well.
