I wouldn't blame him either, because that would be a lot of work.
But much less work would be required now. One would only need to
abstract out a ra-like interface for talking to the text-base
information that is already in the repository (including allowing the
"data incomplete" errors). David's new WC code could still decide to
implement only a small fraction of the repository functionality.
The point is, it sounds like the WC API has to be changed anyway, so,
perhaps this would be a way to make it more general at the same time and
open a lot of doors for future expansion but without requiring new
functionality to be implemented now.
