Comment (by juga):

 Replying to [comment:7 irl]:
 > If the file format is changing, and refactoring things is something you
 have time for, adding a bandwidth list formatter and parser to stem would
 allow it to be used in sbws and then also in bushel. There won't be any
 inter-op testing so we're more likely to miss bugs in spec compliance but
 there would be reduced code maintenance.

 This sounds a good idea. I think that implementing the bandwidth file
 parsing in stem is just mostly copy-pasting what we implemented in sbws
 (without the scaling part and parsing results, it's not too complex nor
 too much code0.
 So, maybe instead of renaming the keys, as soon as there's time (in 1/2
 weeks), i could try this. Later we can rename the keys there.
