For one, all current samples continue to work as before.

Then, a patchset that brings changes one after the other. It might be
a bit complex to do, since I expect such a change to impact everything
about all at once, but I'd be very reluctant to apply a thousands-lines
long patch in the first place.

Finally, the new code should be commented, and better yet, the whole
new process should be dully documented and explained.

Yes, this is difficult. But I'm not trading a *known working* situation
that is not optimum, for a suposedly-better situation that is not working
(for the sake of not existing so far).

But, as they used to say: show me the code! ;-)
