I see that and I also see that I am the main source of new bugs right now. However, I think that most of the things will be easily fixable as soon as the core is in a stable condition. And I see this time approaching. We basically have a choice of making what we have now workable and create some fragile glue code (which should be better than we had before, but...) or tame that beast for good. I am opting for the latter right now as this minimizes total effort in the long run. Andre'
