It would be a very good thing to do. First of all, the PVABI needs to be **documented** because without that there is no hope. I would like to specifically call out the efforts of Konrad Wilk in this general area, but he obviously doesn't scale, either...
The other aspect is to get rid of as much of the PVABI as possible. HPV is a big step in that direction, getting rid of some of the most invasive hooks, but I think we can minimize further.
