Just a thought. That's probably not a bad idea but it has two problems: 1. it makes the updates processing mind numbingly difficult to follow 2. it's a change that can't be made in the current stable branch b/c it will change too many people's config files in midstream. 1 is not a complete stopper for that going in but 2 is. I'll think about it for TNV -sv
