So you're advocating doing nothing because of some design decisions made
30+ years ago?  My experience has shown me that it's possible to do better;
I see no reason the design can't evolve to meet new requirements.  You
might point out that the design hasn't evolved yet; that would be fair,
but if we don't try stuff now we won't find what works and what doesn't.
