Using more powerfull rules, kind of "intelligence", being able to =
create
personalized sites (using explicit and implicit personalization), =
etc...

You can create really sophisticated rules, and use the engine already

If you want to create something that control flows, I just ask why =
don't use
an engine designed for solving decisional trees to implement that =
"control".
