In general, I'm against this kind of refactorings: there are definitely
pros and cons for the two approaches and we could definitely discuss
about them for days and days (probably without any agreement on the best
solution); so I am pragmatic on this: there is a lot of existing code
built on top of these entities, no specific problems caused by this
design -> thus no reason to change; especially if the change is
suggested by the bare analysis of the data model and not also on the
existing business logic and existing problems that the data model is
causing.
So, no I'm against this change.
