I agree that there should be a replacement but I am not sure you could get anyone to agree what a satisfactory replacement might be like. Maybe this might be a good session at SHARE? You would have to generate some enthusiasm and you might get enough people to form a committee. Personally I think it needs to be done, but there would be forces pulling at the product from at least 2 or 3 angles, each would insist that they are “right”.
