This whole driver is a chicken and egg problem.  The existing code is
so hard to read and maintain, that it's hard to improve it in a
incremental way.   Yet, trowing large sections out the door is too hard
to get seriously reviewed as well...

I would like to think that what I've submitted is an improvement on the
existing stuff.  I'm sorry you feel that no changes are possible unless
 all the issues are fixed at once.
