No, not at all, just that it's deliberately designed to be exactly the way it is, so dedicating a lot of time to trying to change that is likely to be frustrating and fruitless. I agree about the confusion of a lot of the contrib projects, I'm often unsure if they're abandoned or just mature. I don't know if the expectation or the reality is that they should all be in a working state.
