Maybe. Go look at how some of the Linux kernel folks were talking about
implementing "pluggable" schedulers and such.

Yup. I said the same thing. I know Russ knows what he's talking about, and I
obviously think I do, too.

That sounds suspiciously like "please implement what I can describe but not
implement myself".
Here's what it boils down to: you've proposed an approach to a technical
problem. Many here think, based on their experience and knowledge, that it is
a poor, unmaintainable approach. You think it's a good approach. So the next
step is for you to go away and implement it. Either it'll work really well,
and you'll prove us wrong, or it'll turn out poorly, and you'll have gained
experience and knowledge in the process. Note this does *not* involve Russ or
anyone else here showing you how to do it.
