I've been scheming and postulating on this project for a couple months. I've created and thrown out several plans on incremental ways to migrate the network to be in a ready state to do this. It has been very difficult to get anything concrete moving. So then a few days ago, I decided to bite the bullet...

When I've contributed to projects with fewer global variables, I've noticed that the flexibility and maintainability of the code has been significantly greater, and I have more fun working with it. My theory: if there are no globals, we can predict that an object doesn't play with any toys that we haven't given it.
