Probably not.  Steve had posted his patches, but there was little or no
response.  In practice, whole-repository improvements only get made by
very brave old-timers because it's impossible to generate
across-the-board approval for a large patchset covering many libraries.
I made an executive decision to trust Steve with the changes he was making.

That is not to say that I necessarily endorse all elements of his plan.
I trust that he won't make any major changes without first generating
consensus.
