Again, do you see anyone here claiming all are simple?  It's the same 
points made last time around, those who want it do the work, it's 
going to be bumpy and will require work, but those who want it are the 
ones who have to do it.

Bluntly, stick to the discussion of prefix, or go elsewhere.  Bash 
pvdabeel if you like but sure as hell not on this list since no one 
cares, further since it's not relevant to the _current_ discussion, 
where people are actually attempting to pull this off.

If as you posit, it's not been discussed/planned properly, I suggest 
you stick to contributing to the discussion and planning of it.  The 
alternative is that people get fed up with the the ancillary bullshit, 
and they implement it themselves (which I'm sure you would dislike).
