If "backward-compatibility" meant the need to refactor the code for easier
extensibility I very much agree with you. Some refactoring would make the whole
thing much more pleasant to work on, and your patches did a good job at that.

Maybe we can move the cleanup/refactoring into a separate patch set
to get at least that part moving ?

I would be happy to help reviewing that
