Their laying railroad tracks with the train right behind them.

I have nothing to substantiate any of this. It's just a feeling.
Yea I totally get this feeling too. I can imagine stuff being coded sloppily to get things done and it just made the game harder to work on now. Then the whole thing just got out of hand and they're cleaning up certain things at the core level so the future work will be easier.

This is just my hope, but at this point nothing SE does can surprise me (short of a positive update).
