\noindent{}In this chapter we investigate the notion of \gls{half-reif} as introduced by Feydy et al.\ \autocite*{feydy-2011-half-reif}.
We show that in modern \gls{cp} still benefit from the use of half-reified propagators.
We also discuss the advantages of the use of \gls{half-reif} when writing decompositions and introduce a new version of the linearisation library that enjoys these advantages.
We introduce methods to automatically detect when a expression in a \minizinc\ model can be half-reified, enabling the modellers to enjoy the advantages of half-reification without having to introduce them manually.
Finally, we discuss the effect of half-reification on earlier discussed flattening methods.
