See the description of the list: "This list is used for general discussion and questions, answers, and latest changes and updates." This is general discussion around the game, so that discussion is perfectly in sync with that definition. If you don't like it, don't answer to it - simple as that.

I agree that the code structure could be improved, and some level of 
modularization/separation of parts would be good if done with care. 
However, personally I do not see any real value in expanding it to a 
generic game engine. That said, I don't see any harm in that either, so 
long as it is done carefully. IMHO, creating a generic game engine is 
not a good goal for the project, however isn't necessarily a harmful as 
a side affect of increased modularization. I feel that modularization 
should be done (gradually and with care), to improve maintainability, 
*not* to create a generic game engine, though that would not be harmful 
to come as a side affect.
