The idea of a new interface for plug-ins was brought up in the past and it would put even more responsibility on plug-in developers to jump through an extra hoop which, sounds reasonable to us but has proven to be a challenge at best. That doesn't mean it couldn't happen but one has to consider the plug-in eco system and where it might be headed in 5 years rather than a year. The issue has to be addressed from a broader perspective which takes longer and involves higher level strategy, etc. Beyond that, the issue of plug-in level meters is just one of many fish to fry, some of which are arguably more critical and have more of an impact on users. Naturally, we want it all and we won't get it all but we've gotten a lot and we'll continue to get more over time. It'll get better :) Slau
