Considering the history of several refactorings of WebKit's core over the last 
two years - the developers eventually lost interest in them or became too 
busy to finish them off and push for a release - I agree with Ian.  If his 
refactoring of Application.py is going to be in the next release, it should 
be in the main branch. Otherwise it'll never get the exposure and serious 
testing required.
