I surely will, so that it doesn't disappear or get easily forgotten.
However, I would like to work on that a bit longer before opening
the PR, esp. now that I see there's a will and need for something
like that.

I'm kind of git-pedant so I'd like to keep it clean and somehow
possible to review despite its gargantuic size (thus the commit
separation).

I will work on that in the next week or two, probably doing a bit
more yet still not everything (my minimal plan is to finish the
changelogs and start removing inline mentions, we'll see how far
I can get with this).

One request, though. Please let me know before this PR would be
merged. If I will not be responding in two or three days then sure,
go with it, it's open source after all :) But I would really appreciate
abbility to have a final glance and possibly improve some things before
this goes live.

Cheers,
Maciej
