Philip and I have talked about this before. What he really means is
splitting out gnuradio-core into more top-level blocks. Eventually, we
probably want a gnuradio-runtime that only contains the basic block parent
classes and and the scheduler. This way, for getting the runtime engine
going, you need a minimum of dependencies. We would then have other top
level blocks containing the other blocks that are currently in
gnuradio-core. I've already started splitting off a gr-digital block in one
of my branches to this effect.
