Ideas for systems and stars modelling #1

I think we can simplify the model for stars and systems if dump the "root" star idea and instead make the root a precalculated "center of mass". This would allow all bodies to orbit and make stars not special, as well it would make the simulation of binary systems and their planets much more accurate/simple. ?how is this even handled currently?

How would we handle planetary orbits? We could have circumbinary planets, but what about more intricate orbits, or more intricate star configurations?
