I'm sorry, but I don't see why we just can't integrate request what you 
have in your custom grimoire that's really stable for you.  Custom 
grimoires are ok for testing development, but not for our stable 
grimoire.  If you're dong systematic development that requires the whole 
system be modified (like iso work), custom grimoires are expected.  But 
we should have one exposed grimoire that everything works on.  Not a 
smaller grimoire, just a stable one.  C.F.  my bugzilla improvement and 
gaze integration idea for how to make it more open to bug fixing.
