How do you plan on using image lists from user32? How will you make sure that the version 6 behaviour doesn't break older programs? It's these questions that made Microsoft move the controls to comctl32. Will we get ourselves into a bigger mess by not having two separate implementations?
I don't dispute that our current approach is not perfect. You are right, there may be some problems with it, and in the long term, we may have to duplicate them. However, doing so mow would imply a lot of work, and as you can see, we're way short of manpower. From what I've seen, we can safely implement most of the XP functionality into the user32 without risking of breaking stuff. That is to say, I don't see right now a big need to dupicate the controls. Let's cross that bridge when we get there.
