Go and try to work out what can and cannot be moved. go and take a look
at the incredible complexity of inter-dependencies in packages. you'll
quickly work out that what you propose is actually not that easy. hence
why I usually take a while to pluck up the courage and actually attempt
to fix these things. it is a HUGE drain on time.
