I see Ævar sent another reroll of "rebuild the base" and "then rebase a (hopefully) equivalent of this series on top", but I think it is unhealthy to keep doing that. Does the latest "rebuild the base" part look unsalvageably and fundamentally bad that it is not worth our time to consider joining forces to polish it sufficiently and then build this on top?

If that is the case, then I am OK to merge this to 'next' to cast it in stone, and then the let "rebuild the base" part once die, to be reborn as many "tweak the way things work to (clarify|optimize) X" follow-up topics.

Thanks.
