I tried but I didn't find your SourceForge user. If you mail it to me (off-list)
or to the list I'm able to add you.

Once you created you branch you can screw it around in any way you please, it would not affect main line of development and releases. Once your branch would arrive to some agreeable good state, it can be merged back into trunk for common use.

When i was working on driver code, I was wondering on some design choices for class hierarchy, and I was very itchy myself to refactor the code. I decided to hold my horses until I could at least discuss that with main developers.
