I think we can have both clean code and a single process.
If I remember right, someone mentioned that the original Harvest code
was messy because it was the code of different people - as reflect
by the naming conventions.

It's the single process/non-blocking/scheduler-oriented model of Squid
that I think is the most confusing. It is really not "obvious" until
you wade in it for some time...
