By whom? By you, responding "REJECTED" instead of providing any useful
suggestions?

I think everybody got it already that you are considering yourself
as a member of an elected circle with the exclusive ability of doing
"advanced reflection".

You are trying to play me and all others here:
(not in a really sophisticated way, though)

- I tried to understand your proposal from the pointers you gave
  and your linked presentation
- I responded with some questions I had
- You responded to my questions about it by insulting me personally
  instead, clearly without any intention of discussing details with
  me
- You are trying to build up a blocking wall that is supposed to be
  impossible to surpass


Now, I see the situation as follows:

Whatever changes you are proposing exactly - you didn't manage to 
get going with these changes for years and I see no reason why
I should wait for your ideas to get implemented first.

I'm submitting a patchset that is highly useful right now and
based on the CURRENT code base. 
I can't submit a patchset based on some proposed architectural 
changes that solely exist in some other developers mind.

Whatever your proposed changes are in detail. If you are a 
developer as great as you trying to let all of us know from
every second sentence you are typing, I'm sure it will be totally
easy for you to implement your ideas later on top of my patchset
whenever you're ready to do so. I hope it won't take another
few years like the project is already stuck on that subject for..
