It is pretty big and there are a couple places where the series could be simplified, the first patch in particular. I will break it out and resubmit piecewise but I'd like to know how to address these particular issues: 1. Are URIs the way to specify individual messages, despite bremner's concerns

Hi, Ethan. I haven't really looked at this patch set at all yet, but I did notice that it's huge, and includes multiple big changes. Is there any way you can break these up into separate smaller and more digestable series? It would certainly help relieve the review burden. jamie. pgpKm0xwdRAj
