I also agree, which is why I put it in a branch:)
It started out as some changes that didn't have a timing effect, but
the more I worked on it...
Suffice to say, it's not good for HEAD and likely never will be, but
it included some ideas I might try again later so I committed it.
Things like making more uniform fields and reducing the use of our
ever-changing collection of private $pkg->{_thing}.
