Having talked with Bubli, I now understand a bit more what is needed, and I agree this is not an easyHack.

I believe it is a good idea, that the UX team and others suggest new easyHack (with needsDevEval), but based on the talk with Bubli and other core developers, I can see we need to be a bit harder in the evolution.

We have currently quite a number of easy hacks, where I just added the need for code pointers, which probably should be changed to non-easyhack, I will prepare a list to our next ESC meeting with my recommendation.
