Re: [GSoC 2026 Inquiry] Refactoring global state

Hi karthik,

Thanks for the swift reply and encouraging words!

AFAIK We don't have any specific subsystem to focus, albeit some
subsystems are tightly coupled and hence can be more complex (e.g.
'setup.c'). So my advice would be to find a good balance, you could also
take tips from the patches submitted from the previous year.

Point taken. My recent experience with the 'setup.c' patch definitely 
taught me to respect the complexity of that subsystem. I agree that 
making it the primary target for the entire summer might be too risky.

I will follow your advice to dig into archives and log to study how 
previous contributors structured their changes.

Thank you again for the feedback!

Regards,

Yuchen
