Multiply this with the number of sites * the number of 4.0.x updates ;)

After staring long and hard at TCEMAIN and TCEFORMS I've come to the 
conclusion that there'll be not UI overhaul without massive changes in 
code. In the worst case, we'll change the old code to output more 
userfriendly HTML and we throw all that away with 5.0 because we start 
anew...

This should be continued in the dev list, or in an R&D meeting...
