With our current release process, we never have more then a few months
to be in a more or less 'unstable' development version.

I'm not in a position to decide if it is wise to revert and do this work
in another branch now, but only thing that I want to note that from what
I see this work as a process has a lot of other changes/work/discussion
done which maybe would not have been seen/done when we only do work in
small steps and are afraid to refactor deeper then the outside code.

How difficult is it to do this kind of changes in a separate branch
(with some core changes), and is it then still possible to keep the
branch as stable as it was recently.

With a 'LTS' version upcoming(???)... though it is maybe better to
postpone these changes, but my point is that I like the 'proces' of
deeper changes that apparently is happening).

Anyway, core-devs should decide this... whatever decision is taken I'm
ok with it.
