Big *grumble* yes it was.

That's (of course) not a possibility.

First time in my FOSS experience that someone tells me that we should
"start to work fast" on something.

Anyway, that is a bad possibility. Gael did not only do the porting,
he improved and cleaned the code base. Nobody wants to lose this (not
to mention that if Step developers later built upon that, that really
can't be reverted).

We don't have a choice, we must go for 3). Either of the possibilities
that you suggest.
