I think it's possible to minimise the impace of the API change. It's not all
that different from how things work at the moment. Your models and views are
passed a request object at the moment. It just happens to have controller
methods and properties bolted on. As long as you don't use those methods from
your model actions, you should be fairly safe. I'd expect this change to be
localised to your driver/controller class.

I hope you won't have to wait too long :)
