This sounds like a Big Bang rearchitecture that is so rarely successful. What tends to be successful (and more useful to us users) is to figure out what the users need (as opposed to what the developer likes to work on), release that, and repeat. If this rearchitecture ever is released, it's going to be so buggy (because no real people have ever used so much of its code) that people will stay away in droves. Just a prediction based on experience. I hope it doesn't come true. ///ark
