It's ironic that what I predicted is coming true - and the project hasn't
even started - yea.

Why?
Thats one of the mistakes I believe Avalon made. Why not just have a
complete directory - good components will be reused while bad ones will be
ignored. Simple. Especially when the external code bases are added to
directory. No one will be able to do that extensive supporting/validating
these components.
