It is being discussed (vaguely related: [0]). While the end goal is
very nice (and KISS), the big concern is with the transition, which
would be a real PITA.

If we can get the transition right I'd personally be in favor, but it
would require lots of planning and testing. I'm not at all a fan of
the way Fedora is going to do the move btw...
