It is usable now.

Perfect. Then you will have no problem with GPA 0.5.0:
If you don't like it, don't use it.

You seem to know exactly what has to be done. Please do it then.

If you don't like the way how GPA 0.5.0 was created, be welcome to
do it better. You have the full source code of both GPA 0.5.0 and
0.4.3, and the GNU GPL grants you full permission to use it.

This is not a drink-or-die situation as with proprietary software.
You have the freedom.

BTW, as far as GPA is concerned, *we* gave this freedom to you.
