The comment I made about James Simmons' code was meant to be my take on the DRM
/ KMS code he wrote, and I did not necessarily mean to criticize the previous
OpenChrome developers.
That being said, I have been dealing with OpenChrome code since July 2015 or
so, and I have not particularly liked the code quality of OpenChrome.
The code maintainability does affect the sustainability of the project, to some
extent.
Many of the commits I have done so far mainly deals with cleaning the code and
making it easier to understand.
That's all I will say for now.
