I agree that it's kind of stupid. I cleared up some of that mess in 1.6.x, but not all. And the changes hurted a lot of existing applications, so I'm careful not to mess around too much with AMI again. The most important part is that we don't allow reuse of existing headers for new things in new actions and events. I've been trying to watch over manager in order to disallow misuse, but development is fast and it's easy to miss a commit or a review...
