>Bill, I think there's general agreement that the plugin is stable enough a=
nd right enough that it should represent core behavior. =A0Although one of =
Catalyst's strengths has been to be un-opinionated and leave stuff to exter=
nal distributions when possible, I think this does fall under the 'all good=
 apps should work this way'. =A0I've tentatively pegged it for the March Ca=
talyst release, since it seems pretty straightforward, at least for now. =
=A0If you think you can fit it in (or talk your boss/clients/whatever into =
paying for your time) please give a shout out. =A0It would be great to see =
more people get to know Catalyst internals a bit, otherwise I don't really =
see how we are going to be able to move the platform forward.

Its mostly legwork
