FWIW, from my own experience, I've done a fair amount of large scale
reorganization in the past, and even if "methods are mixed and matched
differently", with careful commit strategy you can stil maintain lineage
of commit history.  So, I wouldn't dismiss it right from the start.

Anyway, ultimately it's all up to Chris since (as Norbert said) he's the
one making this all happen.  Mine was nothing more than just a humble
request.
