That's the only reason. If we could find a way to inject outline capability
(folding sections) like in org-mode I'd be fine having it as a major-mode.
The thing is, for those very large files, org-mode/outline is not just a
fancy nice to have, it's a "must-have".


Is there any other way of achieving the same? e.g., maybe by refactoring

No idea.
Stefan is the expert here, I just mumble some elisp and sometimes it works.
