Yeah it became clearer in your email I got after I sent this that you had
dropped the explanation of what you meant.

I do not know what the plans are for how things will be separated out yet.
As you point out the split of things is rather... chaotic and could be

which says where things go either.. so it will be later in the
build/test/rc cycle before I think things will be known for sure.
