1. The change resistance (or acceptance) is varying for possible software transformations
   in wide ranges, isn't it?

2. I would appreciate better support and collaboration with additional development resources.

3. I hope that further improvements can be achieved also by the means of
   the semantic patch language (Coccinelle software) in safer and more convenient ways.
   Are you looking for any extensions according to the coccicheck tool?

Regards,
Markus
