Seems like typical pattern of
* Let's rewrite thing in X, it is better
* Let's not look at existing code, X is better so writing it from scratch will look nicer
* Whoops, existing code was written like this for a reason
* Whoops, we re-introduce decade+ old problems that original already fixed at some point
I call it FOTM engineering. Let's throw everything out of the window so we can use X novel thing!
