Hi Gavin,

Thanks for your review and suggestion. I agree with your suggestion and would 
be taking up the rework. But since we are close to RC1, I would like to defer 
this to the next release cycle. This change would touch all features supported 
and hence, will require an extensive QA internally.

Thanks,
Anoob
