Remi,

Lets see what others have to say. I think most people just want this 
done. It has been restarted multiple times over a couple of years, and 
we just can't afford for it not to be done. If we were to reopen it for 
the kinds of changes you are suggesting we would effectively be 
reengineering it from scratch - these kind of changes are fundamental.
