These are definitely changes that need to be made, but be aware that
they need to fit in with the switch to registry2.0 (and subsequently
actually recording all the relevant info in the registry) as well as the
images-and-archives branch stuff (which I believe just needs code to
migrate existing installations before it's ready to merge back to trunk).
