I agree, more or less; the only difference is that I'd say that there probably
_are_ ways to improve (there's _always_ something that can be improved), but I
do not think that the improvements are really worth the effort.  All
"improvements" involve testing, failures, defects, and the risk of stepping
backwards instead of forwards.  As long as the current camera design does what I
want it to do (and it does), I don't want any "improvements."  I've been
debugging "improvements" in computerland for decades, and I'm tired of it.

If it's not broken, don't fix it!
