FWIW, I agree with Michael here. Simplicity should be a priority. The more complex it gets, the fewer people will be comfortable changing it by hand, and then you are back to being one of those other distros where certain systems tasks are obscured enough that new users just learn not to touch them. -Andy (user who lurks on devel to stay updated and to give input :) )
