Actually, this change doesn't worry me. It's a step into the right 
direction.

What worries me, is you replacing configuration variables 
(Configuration.xxxx) with functions (configuration_get_xxxx).

This raises questions about backward compatiblity and the steps your 
changes impose on implementors of non-public BSPs.
