Hi Shariq, I don't think we can easily do it, so before physically starting the work we need to have a proper understanding of all related issues from all products and ensure that the solution will address those, if not, its going to introduce a huge instability. So, if we are do this for the upcoming release, we need an immediate plan or its best done for the next.
Thanks, Senaka.
