I waited and eventually someone made my points for me. Thanks Duane !
I like the ideas being tossed around, they *could* create one big mother of a
grimoire, they *could* need more maintenance, they *could* cause version
incompatibilities.
But these things could be worked out given time and developers, and we would
benefit in the future
definitely post 1.0 in my opinion
