Peter has made it pretty clear that he didn't care for the
refactorization aspect of that patch.

Perhaps that's because nobody but you wanted it to go in.
Some amount of the issue here is that people won't work on patches they
don't approve of; that's certainly the case for me. I have more than
enough to do working on patches I do think should go in, and I get tired
of having to repeatedly object to the same bad patch. Do you remember
Sturgeon's Law? It applies to patches too.
