There's no doubt that in some cases it's currently a downgrade.
If those can all be fixed, I don't know, but I think the important cases
can be fixed.

Would you be willing to try and be in charge of the change, then?
You seem to have a good grasp of what it would take to make the package
good enough to be a real upgrade.

I'd provide any help I can, of course.
