Hello all!

So the following are waiting for review:

• bpo-24033
• bpo-23981
• bpo-24279

I'm going to hold off on continuing to refactor any other modules for the moment, would be great to get the above wrapped up and eventually merged when possible.

Thanks!

Berker committed the original patch to move the helper module, so adjusting the stage back to reflect the ongoing review on related issues.
