So may be you do not like Ring and this is ok. Now I want an abstraction so that we can build a remote browser by plugging simply rTalk + nautilus + ring. With the current state of the system this was simply impossible.
I want to be able to browse senders in the past and compare them with the current version. Because we use prehistorical tools even if we could have something like torch to help us.
I cannot see anymore SystemChangeNotifier (even if this was far better than without) PackageInfo, PackageOrganizer with lazy identification of packages so that when you do an analysis you have to ask sometimes twice to packageOrganiser and packageInfo. Ask cyrille the time he spent there.
I want one good browser, one code model (to be used by all the tools), one system notifier and a good one. One AST.
If I may make a metaphor, it sounds like rebuilding a house from the foundations on up while you're living in it. Things are bound to get unpleasant while it's happening, but it's still worth it in the end. :)
