Comment 3 for bug 947267

This makes perfect sense to me. I am a big fan of simplifying the code so it is easy to find where issues are happening. I am just conscious to not trade the simplicity of lots of small methods with a complex tapestry of modules with tiny bits of code in them.

It sounds though like you are advocating the idea of clear logical pieces that we break the API up into (e.g. ImageAPI, ConfigAPI etc) and a consistent programming style (PEP-8).
