Thanks for the thoughtful response! I also had not been aware someone posted this to reddit, so I appreciate the heads-up on that as well.

I was not aware of at least some of the potential work being considered on these things, so I'm definitely going to start reading more about each of the things you've linked over the next couple of days. Somehow I was under the false impression that there wasn't much appetite for the types of changes I've been hoping for, so all of this is awesome to hear!
