On the MSI move: I am volunteering to move it into dbtools, keeping the

(I have been reluctantly doing too many repository conversions lately,
and this one is actually interesting: it will require merging from an
unrelated repo, which probably makes "swiss army knife" git the best
candidate for the operation. I will create a bzr branch on LP that you
can merge in after 3.14.12 is out.)
The problem with moving msi into base is that it makes it more difficult to
apply site-specific changes. This may not be a strong argument against,
though.
BTW
Please try to avoid moving discussions on tech-talk to private mailing
"lists". If you think it gets too technical, then move the discussion to
core-talk. There are so many advantages to using the public lists, not least
among them that everything gets archived. It is easy to ignore threads that
you are not interested in, but it it is hard if not impossible to follow
something you *are* interested in (even if you do not actively participate
in the discussion) if the stuff is discussed only in a private circle.
