My friends, please stop writing "something"s that do 1001 different things.
With regards,
Devs cleaning up old projects
Yeah, that won't happen.
And if you propose a separable set of functionality that you can mix as you like, you'll get shut down on the base that it's not viable (doesn't matter if you had written it already), it's too complex to understand (doesn't matter that everybody keeps doing everything wrong because nobody can understand the current one) and YAGNI (doesn't matter that keeping the current one running takes most of the time from everybody).
