Hey, have you already forgotten that the source of BeMail has been

Come on, you can't just replace the kernel, you can't just replace the
app_server. The kits aren't not that independent, and there is a lot of
private communication going on.
And also, we're over that discussion. We're replacing R5, we're fixing
any bugs we can, and that's exactly what we are doing, better get used
to it.
And who says we can't introduce a new API one week after R1 is out? :-
