Maybe in some future we might want to do some sort of separation 
between the more algorithmic stuff and the more 
platform-dependent stuff, because we actually spent quite some 
time and effort in removing some Tango's abstractions. It is a 
very conscious design decision to remove as many abstraction 
layers as possible, and for the platform-dependent part, we 
definitely don't want to go back. We need to work very closely to 
the OS facilities, so abstractions are plain noise and source of 
inefficiency for us :)

But if there is interest, I don't discard the splitting idea in 
some future.
