I don't disagree to the concern but as things seem to be today we need these
handlers. Yes with the componentization work by Lar's this may not be required, so
I guess we need to get the componentization series done first and then revisit
this topic.

In parallel we are trying to test bits to see if we can do away with this
assumption. Stay tuned...
