For the record, I do support Uwe's work too. I do wish it could go in now so that from that point going forward we could only focus on improving the thing instead of having to care about implications during the merge window. But I do prefer RMK's proposal in the long run. Not only is it more expressive and clear, but it is easier to maintain going forward too. But that transition cannot be automated and I doubt the majority of targets will be converted anytime soon if at all. So at least Uwe's reduction is quite a good compromise for those.
