[...] please lets not do this just yet. While i have no problems with the change in theory, the time code is in high flux and it's easier to keep things sorted if we dont do big code movements. It also makes it harder to review things and it acts as a hard merge barrier. We usually do such move chunks of code in 'quiet periods', and now is definitely not such a period. It's also pretty easy to do.
