Agree. You good remember previous state of the contrib -- something
wasn't compile-able, something was total dead ..etc. I want see nice code
in contrib and not say "the contrib is our trash and everybody can postpone
something here" (it not means currect state is bad. It's better than
before 7.1, it's care about future :-).
