I think I was again not clear. This is the part we will drop. We
simply can't do it now for the reasons I explained in the mail. But as
I and Nikita said earlier there are areas for improvements and tweaks,
only the right time to do it is debatable, I prefer to have a stable,
testable branch before going to change these parts again with the risk
of making the whole thing hard to test, debug or improve. Is it
something you can live with?

Cheers,
