i'm not saying that he improved Aeolus, in general. i *think* he was
making it do something that it did not yet (with the new 10th
anniversary aeolus not yet being available), and he used his own
coding conventions (however inferior they are)

if FLOSS is *only* about making perfect software by improving giants,
it becomes a little bit too neo-liberal for my taste.
