I just asked you to reorder the way you do things, so that I had less work to 
do when dissecting problems in the actual functional changes.
If it's really impossible for you to do that, I guess we can move forward 
anyway, it just creates more work here before we can have a chunk we agree on.

I will put additional comments on the parts that I would like to see improved.
