Hi,

If you want to do it before the hard feature freeze you have only 10 hours left. ;-)

Tomorrow the beta1 will be tagged. To give the users a proper thing to test, it would \
not be wise to do major rewrites on something, because it can not be tested by the \
users. 

But you and/or the games module coordinator should take the decision about this. If \
the change is relatively safe and straightforward you can do it of course, if it is \
intrusive and needs testing to catch regressions I'ld say wait for 4.5, it's only 6 \
months away ;-).

Best,

Toma
