One of the things that drew me to do the Delay refactoring, is simply that I could. That is, I was amazed that I could dig so deep so easily, see a path to improvement and effect change at a fundamental level. Excepting complexities with the CI due to "changing the wheels on the car at 100km/h" (and one slip), it seems to have gone reasonably smoothly. That sense of mastery is seductive. cheers -ben
