[SR-Users] [sr-dev] RFC: updates to some core functions

[Olle E. Johansson]

Going back one step, are there any reasons to keep tmx, kex and corex modules at all?

At this point in the project I think many of the functions should be merged into 
the main modules and core. 

If I remember correctly, they exist because of a multi-brand history that is not
really the case any more.
