Are there plans to merge the various Windows specific modules into their non-OS specific module twins?  I'm thinking more of things like "win_ping", "win_copy", "win_command", "win_file", "win_shell", "win_tempfile", "win_template", "win_uri", "win_user", etc.

There are plenty of Windows specific calls that don't make sense to merge (e.g. "win_domain_controller", "win_domain_computer", etc) so I get those should stay separate.

No, doing so would be a documentation nightmare as they are completely separate modules with some options not implemented or applicable on Windows and vice versa.

Thanks
