That's probably not a bad idea but it has two problems:
1. it makes the updates processing mind numbingly difficult to follow
2. it's a change that can't be made in the current stable branch b/c it
will change too many people's config files in midstream.
1 is not a complete stopper for that going in but 2 is.
I'll think about it for TNV
