Yes, that's certainly true. But we have to take step by step.

All the work you will spend to validate all the converted modules
will be equal if not greater to doing the algorithm correctly.

So why not do it correctly from the start? :-)

Seriously, just sit tight with your work, and once the stackable
route stuff is done, you can look into applying your algorithms
to the new flow cache.
