Note: Modularization must be done in such a way that it doesn't hurt porters -- after all it's meant to *help* them. But many ports are rather monolithic, and actually wouldn't benefit much from being modularized (e.g. the PSP, PS2, Dreamcast, etc. ports) compared to the current situation. I.e. it should be relatively pain free to transit to the new system, and not force anybody to reinvent the wheel. | |||
