That's a good point. The plan is to finish the layers refactoring landing by the week of March 18th. I didn't realize that anybody was looking at OMT painting right now. This was identified as something that needs to be done, together with OMT texture updates, removal of non-OMT code, etc., but it wasn't flagged as now, mostly because we didn't know anybody was actually available. Matt is also part of the layers refactoring effort, so there may not be a conflict after all.
The reason I brought this up is because there were already concerns voiced about the complexity of the layers refactoring patch(es), but it was meant as a question. If people are not worried about this, I'm happy. Streaming buffers are in line before the layers refactoring, we want to make sure that lands first.
