So my understanding is that we have a grid:
old backend new backend
old UI A
new UI B
So we have A, and Seth wrote B; I haven't looked at the code, but I do
understand Seth's point that adding the other two cells basically
triples the work to make the change. If we're ending up at B anyway, I
don't really get the point of the exercise, I have to admit.
What is the rationale here? Just ease of reviewing the patch? Or do
you really only want half of it in the end?
