Actually, I wasn't referring to the custom fields plugin so much as the content-type system in general.
Essentially, Habari makes it possible to develop brand new content types (just like entry and page) and then manipulate those content types however you want. The Custom Fields plugin takes advantage of this, but in the end we'd like to see quite a few plugins which you can drop in to support various content types. Look at chyrp, for example.
