Unfortunatly, some of these cleanups do change the binary, as they are removing wrapper functions.
Anyway, I agree, for a "proper" review, I will show the final, cleaned up version, like normal. But we aren't there just yet, that is why this code is going to live in the staging tree for a while. Give us some time to get it fixed up.
