I'd still opt to first refactor the existing code into something 
that's understandable before starting to redesign the whole 
topic. Maybe the design is already fine but buried by complex to 
understand control flow. Also just redesigning this on a blank 
sheet will easily miss important edge cases. And last but not 
least if we can't come up with a better design we'd still have a 
better codebase.
