Don't you think that the sooner refactoring is done the easier it is ?
If refactoring is not done, in the future we will have this problem and
it will be bigger than it is now and maybe nobody will find time to
refactor. Today, Lukas wants to do it. If the compatibility is kept and
the current method is set to 'deprecated' it will be cool in my opinion.
