We seem to have ended up managing most of our PM infrastructure 
iteratively. If the concern is more about best practices than intrinsic 
incompatibilities, I'd lean towards us being better off merging this now 
and then working things out over the next few releases as we get a 
better understanding of the implications. The main thing that we have to 
get right in the short term is the userspace API - everything else is 
easier to fix up as we go along.
