No.  As others have said, if phk and I agree, the world will come to
an end.  I'm saying:

1.  Yes, let people hack at it and improve on it outside the source
    tree.
2.  If it works, don't fix it.  At the moment, Vinum works, for some
    definition of "works".

These two aren't incompatible.  Removing existing functionality for
the sake of purity, on the other hand, is unnecessary.

Sadly, much as I love the discussion, I have this conference next
week, starting in less than 12 hours, and I need to sleep first.
Unless the shit hits the fan, don't expect to hear from me for a week.
