In the second quote I was talking about projects related to cmd that are 
not parser rewrite. I think rewriting parser is a good project (with the 
big warning that coding is not the only chalenge here, getting it 
committed is tricky). The mixing that I was talking about in the first 
quote is that, if possible, new parser should be integrated 
incrementally, so there would be a mix of old and new code in a middle 
of work.

Cheers,
Jacek
