IMO, This should be queued as part of the 3.1 cleanups, but not as
urgently as some other issues.
The priorities as I see them now are:
- immediately fixable and urgent bugs.
- completing the dedicated 3.1 feature list (DEVEL is overdue).
- cleanups for fixing more intrusive or design bugs (such as this, and
the 407 one).
- shakedown for release cycle.
We have a few months of shakedown before anything like a good stable.
Plenty of time for cleanup not blocking new features.
I estimate that properly cleaning up the client side would delay v3.1
stable release by 2-3 months unless we suddenly get more experts
involved. Is that delay acceptable to you? Others?
If we were in a position to start it now, maybe. But we are not I think.
I'm vote is for the timeline above, leaving step-3 as optional, the
descision whether to even start it until step 2 is fully completed.
We may later decide that it is worthwhile or vital, but I don't think
anyone should start in on more major sweeping until we know what all the
fallout from the currently underway set is going to be.
