Right, and a single state would be even simpler, so let's switch to that! :-P

What i mean, and I think I've already said this in another message, is that it
should be as simple as possible while being easy to understand.

The simpler states of the existing model is offset by the additional complexity
of what each state needs to do. Most of the existing states have to handle
multiple tasks. When those tasks are done varies by module. It can be
confusing for a newbie.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
