[Bf-committers] The final step that Blender needs to take in order to become fundamentally perfect

[nautilus]

I've resubscribed as I couldn't let this go, and will unsubscribe once
I've sent this.

Hey Joe, what makes you think that I wasn't willing to join the
development team? Perhaps you should rethink about who's speaking with
too much authority and who isn't. It seems like you are an even bigger
jerk than Reuben, and that says a lot.

Implementing such things would involve huge amounts of work that could need modifications spreading deep throughout multiple areas of Blender. At least for the foreseeable future, there's far too much work to be done in other more pertinent areas - still stabilising and finishing up from the last major refactor, rather than embarking on another very complicated restructure.
