It makes zero sense whatsoever. With your proposal we would literally land code to just throw it away a couple of months from now + break patches we intend to land soon. This
It sure works, it just walks the per class list instead of walking the flat list skipping one class at the time.
Just add the map based transformation to the second pass later, when it becomes required.
algorithm works and has no reason whatsoever to be optimal as it a one time setup call. I really don't understand why we are still talking about this paint color.
I don't think bike shedding is not an appropriate term when complaint is how proposed algorithm is needlessly complicated.
