How can we create changeset that are not dependent. If I move method A 
from class B to class B. Then if later on we want to fix another aspect 
and we have to modify method A this method A will be on classB. So the 
two changesets ARE dependent. Sorry I do not see how we could do that 
in another way.

But I'm not on SqF list.

I want to say that this would be easier for us to work like mad during 
3 weeks and
produce a new kernel than generating tiny changesets one after the 
other one.

UI should be out,
everything related to class compiled method should be in. I do not want 
to go into the detail but we want to have a core with layers and be 
able to deploy a image with just the core so we should not have 
dependencies between core layers and external layers.
