        Sounds like a big doc+code change that in the end might
        cause more confusion between "old" and "new" code + docs.

        My instinct is to leave it all alone..
        if it ain't broke don't fix it, maybe adding parenthetically:
        "just cause it's ugly don't mean it's broke".

        I figure if anyone asks, just chalk it up as a
        "charming idiosyncrasy of pre-millennium computing"
        and quickly change the subject.. ;)

        OP's issue was solved internally, so I'm thinking "problem solved".
        Let's focus on bugs and features and doc strengthening, and keeping
        as much back compatibility as we can, to avoid 2.x syndrome.
