You are assuming that somebody who already wrote 30K of code (not even lines) will be as ready to make changes that require rewriting 27K than somebody who did not already write the code. We had the exact problem with channel layouts: the structure should have been refcounted, but since the code was written without consulting people who would have to use it and neglected necessary features, it was not done, and since the code was already written the change was not seriously considered. Furthermore, communicating early would save time to somebody who might be at the early stages of working on the same thing.
