There were clear fears/risks/concerns stated by witten directly above. I didn't invent the idea of fears being stated out of whole cloth. > subject to all the abuse you can introduce > might cause [...] problems I've said a few things about the potential benefits, though I am not involved in the project.

It does seem like a lot more than change for the sake of change, and along with it since there is so much change why not take the opportunity to adopt a flexible DSL built for future extension so there is less real change in the future.
