Firstly: With language like that how can you expect your idea to be
listend to and accepted?

Secondly: You seem to be the only person very upset by this.  I read
the history of this thread and the bugzilla and I legitimately do not
see any need to change anything.  Apparently I'm not alone either (see
above posts in this thread).

Thirdly: Even if there were a significant problem a complete switch to
a new system that this community is used to is most likely *not* the
optimal solution.  Just because you suggested it and its 'mutually
beneficial' does not mean it's correct or that it should be adopted.
Other proposals have also been offered which seem to require much less
drastic a change.

Finally: I move that we close this thread.  If there is still residual
discomfort about the few cosmetic issues surrounding the gateway would
any party willing to put fourth the work to fix the problem without
replacing the whole system start a new thread with their ideas?
