why would we want to do that and throw away useful and time
tested code? why would we do this in trunk destabilizing the
development branch instead of in an independent branch which
could be tested and validated before it gets merged into trunk
if proven to at least be as usefull as the old code?, what is
the scope of the work that is required on the templates and
the rest of the PHP code to make this transition?

-1 in both accounts, they are both maintenance branches and shouldn't
have any major rearchitecture done in them.

and this doesn't make a difference at all AFAIK with the fact that
templatepower is GPL and some of the PHP code LGPL (for a discusion
on that read old threads on this issue) specially considering that
the frontend code is not "linked" with anything else.
