I realize that list is just one of hypothetical modules, but I admit I
get a bit of a thrill seeing them all together like that. It
certainly would be great to see that much "new blood" come into the
product line, even if it takes a while.
Knocking wood here that Paul can start pushing some of these through
the pipeline, and that the MOTM community is there to support the
effort. (Certainly the last day or two of communal stock-taking is a
good start, it's the most alive the list has been in ages).
