We know it, we have extensively discussed how to fix it, we have IMO a good
design, and we even have someone willing and able to tackle the problem.  We
need to find a sufficient source of funding to enable him to do the work it
will take, and so far that's been the biggest stumbling block.  It will take a
focused and determined effort to see this through, and it's obvious that
volunteers cannot make it happen.  I include myself in the latter category, as
I've tried and failed at least twice to do it in my spare time.
