I'd say that's perhaps cleanup work for someone bored after armada atomic has landed. I also think that after armada it probably makes sense to drop the transitional helpers. Anyone else trying to do a legacy2atomic conversion can dig them out of the git history and just carry them around in their driver for the transition. That also avoids the constant headaches of them breaking accidentally all the time. -Daniel >> It's all the same cargo-cult though in the plane->destroy hook.
