I guess this is Teus speaking here.

In order to "carefully consider and document" this internal data 
structure I would have to decide
what other task(s) is going to be left undone.

If I had time I could give you a long argument about
about the long list of tasks I have which feel to me to be of more value 
to the
user community than this task. That too would require leaving some other 
task undone.

If there were a legal reason for you to not write to a complicated data 
structure produced by
P7 I would "demand" you not do that. As it is I can only "request" and 
state that in my opinion
the advantages of trying to share the P7 repository in its current state 
are enormously outweighed
by the costs of doing so.

I have tried to state this opinion in the least offensive way possible
I would appreciate you stating yours in the same way and leave off 
speculation concerning my "motives".
