I'm late here (had a serious move over the week) but I've already spoken about this with Graham last week and we should revert this for this release. I tried sending it earlier but I'm also having networking issues. :) The problem is not the conversation about which way is more optimized, how, and why. It is simply how much breakage we have incurred with this. It should be reverted and we can reapproach it next release.
