Again: just musing out loud. Take it as you wish.

And maybe I need to make this clear in general: I wasn't speaking on behalf of the council in this thread nor even in any sort of council capacity. I was simply expressing my preferences, as well as some likely outcomes based on prior experience.

Personally I think the current structure ill-serves both advanced users AND newcomers... and by no means am I suggesting that my thoughts on that so far are paramount. Most of what I've said is from the gut or heart and closer to brainstorming than actual problem-solving.
