Exactly  :)

Which is sub-optimal, because you have to re-generate all the HTMLs
that get changed because of a merge (revnos mostly).
Generating the HTMLs is a bottleneck in some scenarios, so getting rid
of that will make it much more lightweight.
Again, none of these factors are critical by themselves, but in
general there has to be a re-write, and while I'm at it, I'd like to
aim for "as best as possible", whatever that turns out to be.
