I doubt that this solves any underlying problem. This was one of my initial thoughts too. I've already tried these superficial hacks that try to avoid the problem. But I'm having a hard time convincing people that the problems are "fundamental" and no amount of superficial hacks is going to fix circular dependencies etc. etc. But again I may be wrong and I always say don't take my word for it. If you find that it fixes the problem, you are welcome to submit some patches for review.
