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 :-).
