I see, will do :-)

This is getting bigger and bigger...

What are you worry about? or has fault in this way? :-(

I'm worried about such changes having unforeseen impact, but that's a fact of life, we have to live with it.

My other worry is about complexity growing. Every once in a while we need to refactor things so the code remains readable (like I did with the fetch() rewrite).

So, keep going, and don't worry about me being worried :)
