yes, but i already have my hands full w/ trying to get the GenericSetup 
stuff (which is also important, if we're to keep up w/ all of the other 
new developments) working well enough for consideration in the next 
Plone release.  i was planning on bringing this to the plone-devel list 
tomorrow (it's 1:20am for me now, time for bed) to try to drum up 
support, to see if someone else will step forward and run with it.  if 
it's going to land, we need to have a proof-of-concept bundle working 
for review no later than december 1st.

you're more than welcome to either pitch this to plone-devel or to grab 
it by the horns and start working on it yourself.  :-).
