As long as it does not hurt the unix code it's not a big problem as I see
it. The usual open source solution is that since no one else writes the
code, you can do it the way you think works the best. To change this in
the future does not mean that everything else has to be rewritten which is
good.

It does also not mean that one can not discuss the implementation. A fair
amount of discussion is always good.
