I'm quite skeptical about "grand new architectures" whose development
starts off with "what we have is rubbish". In my experience, the
rubbish that we have right now continues to be much better than what
the grand new architecture can deliver for several years to come. So I
would always favour evolution over revolution.

That said: Feel free to attempt a revolution, but I can only be
convinced that it is good when I see how actual code gives me actual
pydoc-style pages in my web browser.
