Serious question: do you have experience with “drop in replacements” for reference implementations? They’re rarely 100% compatible. Especially when the reference implementation isn’t formally specified.

Moreover, you continue to cherry pick, neglecting the other arguments you’ve been presented. It sounds like you’ve already made up your mind about this.

Other arguments are ‘it’s not worth it’ or ‘it’s not likely to succeed’ but nobody is making you do the work!

Hmm no, they’re really not. I’ll leave you to reread the tread.
