in theory, whomever is going to do anything, will hopefully read this
thread for ideas, and as to whether to proceed or not. that said, that
was not the case with the MythMusic overhaul, so, yea...

First, as with when most things change, sometimes a paradigm shift
needs to occur. I hold no respect for those incapable of accepting
paradigm shifts for the greater good. That said, I hate change for the
worse, so lets not see if these concerns can't be managed and
integrated into a more easily accepted solution.
