Heh.. You're rambling a bit here. Addition, conversion, removal is pretty much |
| 26 |
what my list is above. The only difference being that the individual backends |
| 27 |
are separated out as well. |

The most important thing in the case of this patch-set is that it can be |
| 30 |
easily seen how the new framework works and how existing code changes to |
| 31 |
accomodate it. The removal of the old stuff and the reworked backends are |
| 32 |
really auxillary. |
