Wiki/list of pros, cons, issues, how they're addressed, etc.

Would avoid an actual glep at this point for the container for this 
information ... too easy for someone to miss the giant "this is a work

Plus... wiki style pages allow us to refine/nail down the seperate 
chunks, and pull it all together in the end.
