There are more changes than the sandbox. Given the participants in
this thread, I suspect nobody else would care the design if you had
only changed whatever you like in a patch or two. Then we will end up
leaving such incomplete design in the source tree and confusing people
maybe for years until someone tries to fix up the things all together.
I hope we can do things right from start.
