Call me party pooper or something but this whole things seems to 
get way out of control.

In order to asses the quality of the new design, one need to 
compare it to a baseline (aka the existing design) or one is 
basically going blind and unlikely to end up anywhere.

There are obvious low hanging fruits in the existing design. For 
instance using a region allocator and blast it all after a CTFE 
run. It is like we have a car with square wheels, and you guys a 
reinventing a whole new car without even trying to maybe put 
round wheel on the existing one and see how it goes.

Overall, that means you are embarking in an expensive project, 
with 0 visibility on the actual value provided.
