Do we _know_ already what the "ultimate destination" looks like?

If the answer is yes, then I agree, but otherwise, I doubt it is a good idea to introduce unnecessary complexity to the system that may have to be ripped out and redone.

I didn't get the impression that we know the "ultimate destination" from the previous discussion, especially if we discount the tangent around "having next and next/foo at the same time" which was on nobody's wish, but I may be misremembering things.
