Right, let's have the discussion then :) The arguments I can see for moving are along the lines of: The IFile API has really nothing much to do with the rest of the application model and putting it along side loads of application specific classes severely limits reusability. The util bundle would be an obvious choice to put things into, and I imagine it would not get to unwieldy with this change (although splitting it out entirely would also be fine from my point of view).
Reasons against it certainly would be the fact that this is a full scale breaking change. Despite that I would propose to move things now and have it in place for the next 0.x or 1.0 release, rather than be stuck with it in the arguably wrong place. What do people think?
