Ivan, I'm the absolutely *last* person who wants to change anything
right now. But several people have problems with the current setup
and I don't think it is wrong to start thinking about alternatives.
There is no timeline for this and I would once again like to emphasize
that I do not think fiddling with the current system will make much
of an improvement in the long run.

So there is a lot of time to think of something better, if there
are still chicken maintainers left...
