+# v8 - Make Faker Handier

+
+Finish the module shuffling.
+
+- Remove locale switching support
+- Move String and Number methods into own modules
+- Rename Name module to Person
+- Rename Address module to Location
+- Check modules and methods regarding their name and location
+- Try to eliminate circular dependencies in modules
+- Standardize function parameters and defaults
+- Rewrite image module / providers
+
+[v8.0 Tasks](https://github.com/faker-js/faker/milestone/10)
+
+## v8.1 - Split Faker Class
+
+Split the Faker class into smaller units so you don't have ship an entire locale if you only generate some strings and numbers.
+
+[v8.1 Tasks](https://github.com/faker-js/faker/milestone/11)
+
+## v8.x - Tree-Shakeable Module-Functions
+
+Refactor modules to be tree shakeable.
+Potentially allowing individual Faker methods to be called by themselves.
