  38. What problems are we trying to solve? • Inconsistency; some stuff on page is blocks, others special theme variables, and then “content” area. • Only one (bendy) layout. • Layout built “inside out”; blocks lack context of overall page • Blocks can’t be re-used in multiple instances

  39. What’s the plan for Drupal 8? • Layout built “outside in”; necessary context provided to blocks • Everything on page is a block (or a layout, or a nested layout) • Blocks rendered independently, supporting ESI caching
