It's hard to do refactoring when your one commit has to throw out the
kitchen sink.
My experimental gerbview refactor for giggles changes the layer system
from the fixed bitmask nonsense to a dynamic managed list of layers
while decoupling drawing code from the window frame entirely which
allows it to draw to bitmaps. With the end goal of doing sexy things
like command line processing of gerbers to pngs :D (And dynamic
layering and up/down movement,etc) None of this can be done in
"incremental changes" because the "incremental" is basically the whole
set of changes needed to the reorganize code.
