Not so impatient.

The perfect development model is small steps, frequent updates.
If there is a bug in 2.5.N+1 and things work in 2.5.N and the
change between them is a simple and obvious one, then it is very
easy to find the typo and correct it.
With large patches this continuity is lost.

My patch removed 5% of the code in usb-storage.
That suffices for a first step.

I outlined a few steps to come. Showed you the code for some.
Every step is an improvement. Why don't I do more?
Well, you are welcome to work yourself on the things you
consider most urgent.

Ah, this is going to end up in a beautiful USB subsystem,
where all devices I possess really work, and nothing crashes
if one inserts and removes a few devices a few times.
