I fail to see how any of those changes "massively prevents object duplication". I don't disagree with any of them but I don't see much value in any either. Sure, there are different ways to skin a cat and some are better. Still, these changes will likely make upcoming merges conflict annoyingly and make the life of the maintainers (i.e. mine and Oz) horrid. It reminded me of this post by another (more famous) Open Source maintainer: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Dec-31.html
