a separate funded project, if capable people were available for that.
However, I am worried that most teams tasked to work on something like
this would produce a complex monster, which wouldn't otherwise be
directly comparable (as in: is it better or worse? is it more or less
secure?) to the current hack.

To have it mentioned as part of the discussion at least; has something
like http://schleuder2.nadir.org/documentation/v2.2/concept.html even
been considered? and if considered and found not appropriate, the
rationale for it is likely interesting as well.
