Hmm, I'm interested in seeing your code shuffling go in. If only to
measure it against the shuffling done/needed to modularize the same
things in 3.x. Your changes are after all, still currently duplicating
the cleanups shuffling in 3.x but in a C way.

As Mark said earlier, its useless making a full formal release if users
can't get a visible improvement out of it. BUT, shuffling that organises
things is usually far better than leaving it a mess. Even if it means
the 2.8 change is grows larger waiting for the visible bit.
