 I am rather interested in the semantics, i.e. if you can punch holes into
 this 3-class approach.

 Bikeshedding comes later ;-)

Sorry, but i can't parse both sentences, especially Bikeshedding and
"punch holes into".

"punch holes into": find cases where Junio's proposed algorithm breaks 
down.

"bikeshedding": discussing minor implementation details that are not 
really interesting at this stage.  See also
