But the changes are not independent. Some yes but the sequence is key so
you should start at the beginning else this will never work.
So reviewers should not choose. :)

I have to check but the idea was to avoid big bang changes which we 
could do
but nobody we not get it.

This is a bit more complex than that and we should do it incrementally.
Some parts of SystemDictionary should be in the kernel other not.
So at the end SystemDictionary should be split into pieces but there 
are some
link with the VM code so this is not easy and we should go slowly.
