*NO NO NO NO NO*
This is *exactly* what we don't have and have been trying to avoid.
Every piece can and is being written to replace its R5 counterpart. 
Mail Daemon Replacement is a prime example. 
Now, because of some interdependencies, certain parts can't be *USED* this way
(example - the Input Kit). But they are *all* under development.

Nah. We are actually parallelizing very nicely.
