I totally agree with the section being overly complex to parse. I am, however,
a little bit afraid of such a drastic edit ;-) Two points on that:
* since I haven't seen much of complaining, can I please commit my
proposed stuff and then we can pile additional edits on top of that?
* re-reading those sections made me realize that we are making a
distinction between two types of non-graduation: termination and
retirement. The way I read it, with termination there's no code left.
With retirement code is still available. Am I correct?
Thanks,
Roman.
