no, the next step is to bring in the beaf (last step).

I think we had clearly decided (somewhen, somewho) that we want one
version with all three options at the same time.
Once we are confident, hopefully after a few days at that point,
VIMAGE_GLOBALS will go away.

So please do not rape that out. In two months there were no real
accidents wrt. VIMAGE_GLOBALS even with all the larger changes that
went in. I think it's safe to keep them another 4-6 weeks.
