i like it. but since it's not exactly consistent (core code
is still 
copied), it should be off-by-default and documented
prominently.

can this approach be extended to publications? right now,
when i work on 
pubs, the content is already being read from the
"source" publication 
directory thanks to redirection, but e.g. the sitemaps are
not, which is 
a nuisance, since after tweaking them in the live tree you
need to 
remember to copy the changes back to the publication source
dir.

I hope the core will be split up into modules.

That's fine with me.

I hope so, IIRC this was already requested a long time ago.
