Thanks for the interest though I am not going to apply these.

Some details:

(A) With some exemptions, I am going to make a general policy to decline 
patches that are based solely on re factorings or code simplifications 
rather than adding features or removing bugs. These changes, especially 
to a sensitive module such as import, require unneeded re-testing and we 
should be concentrating on the core functionality and use cases rather 
than the code itself. I think presently we have enough of an 
infrastructure to make things work sufficiently well and support the new 
auxillliary distros. Adding /additional/ distros (like SuSE) would be 
fair game and welcome at this time, if it did not touch the core of the 
code or reorganize it. There are too many corner cases to test and 
import has been a sore point in the early days of Cobbler -- it's taken 
us a long time to get what we have now.

(B) Any changes to the importer are going to be limited to bugfixes for 
1.4 at this point as we need to be getting a release out soon. I need to 
spend time testing new features and cannot continually re-test the importer.
