I'll vote for making a post.

I like your characterization of what is "wrong" with the sequences, but I'm not sure what ought to be done about it. I suspect that different people need to read different sequence postings. I would like to have the introduction pages for each sequence be expanded to provide roughly a paragraph of description for each posting in the sequence. If you disagree with the paragraph or don't understand it, then you should probably read that posting.

ETA: After reading Will's comment, I will withdraw my vote. Proceed with caution.

I suspect that different people need to read different sequence postings.

I agree; that's one of the things I wanted to discuss (and something my solution would theoretically address). I might try to find another useful place to put my longer writeup of the subject, e.g. my own talk page on the wiki.
