I find that your critique affects the proposed update steps four to six,
doesn't it?
Are the other steps acceptable in principle?

I hope that a bit more constructive suggestions will be contributed by
involved

that a small code clean-up becomes a more challenging development task.

How do you prefer to redesign corresponding data structures eventually?
