I'm sure the SMP/E Team would appreciate ny suggestions you might have.
They have proven to be unwilling to fix a poor/broken design in the
past so I doubt they would be willing to fix this one (even if a
better design was suggested).
My favorite broken/bad design is the way RESTORE works. If you
need/want to RESTORE a SYSMOD, SMPE restores that SYSMOD from the
DLIBs BUT runs the APPLY chain until it has restored not only the
elements from that SYSMOD you are restoring but also SYSMODs that are
SUPPED/PRE'ed until you get to a situation where there are no more
APPLIED mods that contain the elements.
If you are trying to remove SYSMOD1 which contains Elements 1, 2, and
3 than all that is needed is to reapply Elements 1, 2, and 3 from
whatever SYSMODs they resided in if SYSMOD1 was no APPLIED. Right now
you may end up RESTOREing a number of SYSMODs (which then need to be
REAPPLY'ed without SYSMOD1 to do the fallback) since the copy of
Element 1 you are using for the restore is in a SYSMOD along with
Element 4 and the same thing applies to Elements 2 and 3 (and now 4).
IOW: A RESTORE should be preformed as an APPLY of just the replaced
elements that are in the SYSMOD being RESTORED without needing to
restore ANY OTHER Element.
