It's currently running on X only and can be considered a proof of concept.

	If you have compelling arguments against these decisions feel free to point to a better solution. But be aware that just saying "I don't like it" ~~wont~~ make serious points. Some hundred/thousand/millions lines of code will likely change our minds faster.		If you have compelling arguments against these decisions feel free to point to a better solution.
