Your evaluation of the situation is faulty.  You can work to improve
things or not.  It is your project.

The code is NOT a complete rewrite.  Please refer to it.  Asserting
that it is, could be a lie, but maybe only poorly informed.

Well, you were the one talking about a bugfix.  If you think that
paging or object inheritance are the only issues, you are very sadly
mistaken.

You are falling into the fallacy of lying, or at least showing
that you arent very well informed :-).  Please refer to the VM code
copyrights.  In fact, for fun, take a look at the vm_map replacement
file, and tell me that the VM code is a rewrite :-).
