It's a great idea. I've been on the verge of doing it myself but I'm not |
| 12 |
confident that I'll get it right and not produce a completely botched |
| 13 |

Incidentally, there had been talk of another tier, the "uber-stable |
| 16 |
production-ready enterprise keyword." This is one that is needed, but |
| 17 |
maybe not as immediately needed. |
