RE: breaking existing code...

When merging Jon's code, why not rename it (or place it in a namespace) such that there will be no conflict between the existing code (not in the core) and the new core code? At the same time deprecate the non-core code so that developers are aware that it will be removed at some point. In the mean time, no code should break.

I think the moment we move Jon's code into the core, the naming will change from tools:: anyway, if we keep our naming conventions.

With the willingness of Rocal and Richard guaranteed to work on it for 5.2, I approve (for 5.2).
