Well, that is one of the points of the rewrite I'm proposing, indeed...

Yes, I'm vociferous on content.
It seems lately some moves are made in this field, so I'm trying to prepare 
the (bright !) future for the ambitious content people are thinking of :)
(something that current CF code doesn't always enable us to write easily, 
IMO).
But the (partial/full/total/global/[insert word]) rewrite I'm talking about is 
not immediately, it's in some months, after some design work and such.

From the various points on this list, I think I'll work on a separate branch, 
so it's easier to work on content.
(and as you I try to not work on branch/1.x anymore)

Yup.
