No. You started it all, and I do not have more time to devote to it. I
do not find it all particularly interesting, to be honest. I have a lot
of other things to work on, of much greater interest (to me.)

Up to whoever writes and maintains the code. As most things should be in
the absence of a compelling reason to normalize.

I have no idea what you mean, sorry.

You keep asking more and more from me. May I remind you this is your
"project" in the first place, not mine? If you have no idea what should
be done, or even whether anything should be done, then just move on to
something else. I have already expressed all my views on this topic and
am not willing to say anything more about it.
