Hi Pradyun,
Your proposal looks pretty impressive - well structured and thought
out. I've looked through it and the plans seem reasonable - I've
looked more at what you're proposing than at the timescales, but your
staged approach seems sensible - if you do hit issues with time, it
looks like you'll be able to deliver real improvements even if you
don't complete everything, which is fantastic.

Best of luck - assuming you complete all the work you've planned, it
will be a significant benefit to pip. If I can be of any help, with PR
reviews or anything similar, feel free to ping me.

Paul
