It appears to me that the references you make here all allude to 
_investigation_
of a _possibility_ as opposed to a _likelihood_, or an _inevitable_.
IMHO a change as significant as this, which will require tossing years of 
tooling
out the window, and an untold amount of _re_tooling. Should have created an
announcement at _least_ as significant as a new release gets on the mailing
lists.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Kristof.
