I think this is a good change to make, overall. However, in contrast to the build-system changes, which for the most part deal with changes for the putting together of the app, this will actually break functionality. So, is there a way we can provide a migration for exisitng deployments to ease the pain? Either way, we should probably get it done sooner than later.
