these are the kind of reasons why we'll allow people to build addons, people 
should
be /able/ to add on these features if they want

well put, i agree.  we'll just have to change the thread to "let's talk about a

and i suppose it would be a good idea to differentiate between what will be in
the core and what should remain outside of it, in a module.
