Maybe i do not understand you correctly. But for me this sounds really
complicated. I do not see where it will be easier after that.
IMHO i would prefer a central point for the sequences but for larger
installations it maybe could be better to have the sequences as a sub
menu of each module.
i also do not see how this change will affect the code of setting the
reference from your example.
