Yep, I think a lot of value in this kind of integration comes from it
being an ongoing process rather than a point-in-time thing.  The way
the initial seed code has evolved, we're at a point where the overhead
of opening up is definitely outweighed by the potential gains from
community involvement in this kind of exploration.

Glad to see so many ideas -- we know there's prior art -- many of us
are very cognizant of the proliferation of work in this very broad
space, and the value in keeping a healthy tension between adding value
/ "offering people a choice" vs. reinventing the wheel just because we
think we have a better XML configuration file format :P.
