Diego, There are a few crossed wires here. I agree with the overall meaning in this thread however Jed is commenting on the area of editions and using plugins to avoid core changes for "edge Cases".
The fact is we can all do this right now, generate special editions, with any level of design, hacking and development. Jeremy has embraced suggestions which open tiddlywiki to hackability, thus permitting editions and plugins, even macros to get past limitations. ie opening up the possibilities. But as great as he is he is but one man, and we will all benifit if we can open the funnel.
