couldn't we get away with changing how it merges the data?
that's basically what i had in mind. and yeah, changing all the call sites (and therefore, breaking most patches in the queue) is the problem. ;) i had a scheme for avoiding the majority of the call-site changes (and therefore, patch brokenness) by letting the stuff from {node} and {node_revisions} continue to live at the root of $node (so everywhere that does $node->nid, $node->title, etc wouldn't have to change). however, that's broken by {node}.comment vs. comment.module's data. :( anyway, please see http://drupal.org/node/148420 for more details on this, and for the continuation of this thread. now that we've got another 4 weeks before freeze, there's actually a chance in hell of getting this done for D6... ;) thanks, -derek
