Indeed, with the new FS being almost ready in 2.0 the next big mess to tackle are the streams.
Personally I really liked the clean separation of the low level stream features (bytes) and the high-level interfaces to it (converters, characters...)
but the question remains on how to integrate them into a running system ;)
after having done the FS take-over I see that it's rather easy to create an image that works with the replaced classes. But creating a nice loadable slice / changeset is a rather fragile and tedious task :P
We can just have dedicated sprints. I think that tomorrow I would like to finish with you the FS part. Then I would not open the Xtreams work now but plan it. Stef
